Health and Wellness Editor

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Western Pennsylvania’s largest newspaper, is looking for an ambitious and innovative journalist to lead a reporting team in one of America’s most dynamic medical communities. We are looking for someone with the passion and skill to develop a coverage strategy that encompasses everything from cutting-edge medical treatments to game-changing research developments. The region is home to colleges such as the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, Duquesne University and West Virginia University, as well as health-care organizations such as UPMC, Allegheny Health Network and Excela. We’re looking for an editor to tap the region’s many education and medical institutions to develop coverage of issues ranging from exercise and diet to mental health, from cancer research to COVID-19 care. The goal: tell stories from places that matter most to our readers -- research labs, hospitals, fitness centers, health agencies and beyond. The Post-Gazette’s health and wellness editor will help produce a popular weekly health section, assign and edit stories, work with freelancers, and engage with our audiences on all platforms. This is a full-time position.
