By Staff reporter

- Last updated on GMT

As it continues to expand, Decision News Media is currently seeking
two new journalists to join its Pharmaceutical & Science News
Group in Central London.

Science Reporter

Firstly, we are looking for a bright, enthusiastic young science reporter to work across Decision News Media's Pharmaceutical & Science news services, focusing on the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and laboratory science sectors.

The successful candidate will have a science, technology or medical background, as well as the ability to bring expert understanding to scientific papers and translate deep science into accessible and appealing news copy.

Hands-on experience in journalism would be an advantage but is not essential. Far more important is a keen interest in science news, strong research and writing skills and the confidence to interview researchers at the highest level.

An ability to work well under pressure and quickly develop the skills to write at speed and to deliver accurate copy to deadline will also be expected.

In return we offer a competitive salary, training and support to foster your initiative and develop your journalism skills, and if you outperform, the possibility of advancing quickly to the leadership of your own news service.

Business Reporter

Our second position on offer is for a bright, enthusiastic and experienced business reporter to build on the success of Decision News Media's pharmaceutical and science news sites and deepen our coverage of business developments in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors.

Knowledge of these areas is desirable, but not essential. More important will be a strong track record as a business writer and journalist.

We require a sharp journalist with strong news instincts, along with good organisational skills and the ability to learn, and will have cuttings plus possibly awards that demonstrate your striking potential.

The successful candidate will have a clear understanding of the advantages and vitality of online news publishing, and the way that business readers consume information online as well as from traditional media.

In addition, they will be driven and ambitious, with a desire to win more awards and take our publications into new areas of coverage through innovation, analytical skills and a determination to shine.

The role will be rewarding, offering genuine career opportunities in a vibrant, market-leading organisation at the cutting-edge of online news publishing.

If you are interested in applying for either of these positions, please send a CV and covering letter to >cuneznercbegre@qrpvfvbaarjf.pbz .
