needed</title></head><body>
<div>Hi:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I wanted to let you know about an opportunity for a science
writer: the McGovern Institute for Brain Research
(http://web.mit.edu/mcgovern/) is looking for a part-time writer to
work with the eight members of the McGovern faculty on press releases
for a general audience. They will consider an outside freelance writer
or someone who is already working here at MIT.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>They have been averaging about 2-3 articles a month, mostly
descriptions of faculty papers in the science publications<i>
Neuron</i> or<i> Science</i>, etc. This would involve
interviewing the faculty, who would also serve as editors, under the
final authority of the Director. They seek someone with
experience in writing for the life sciences, preferably neuroscience,
and would be very glad to have someone with MIT knowledge and
experience. Please contact Laurie Ledeen, Development and
Special Projects Officer at Ledeen@MIT.edu (617) 324-0134 if you know
of anyone.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks</div>
