科学作家
Science Writer
Science Buzz 是一个预发布博客，专注于让物理科学领域的研究成果对普通读者更易理解。
我们正在寻找在地球科学、生物学、物理学、天文学和化学（及其子学科）方面有专业知识的撰稿人，撰写高质量的文章，内容包括最新发现/研究，以及指南和信息图的框架内容。
关于你：
- 你在某个科学领域是专家。这不一定意味着你拥有博士学位或在该领域工作过；我们欢迎热情的业余爱好者。这意味着你熟悉该领域的顶级学术期刊，并具备理解新研究意义的背景知识。
- * 你能清晰地阐述复杂话题。这意味着你了解该领域的术语，但能不依赖术语传达关键信息。
- * 你了解制作病毒式传播内容的要素，不排斥在合适时使用公式（例如，列表类文章）。
与我们合作的优势：
- 你可以通过学习和撰写你真正感兴趣的内容获得报酬
- * 所有作品都以你的署名发表
- * 灵活性：我们很少有严格的截止日期，也愿意与无法定期投稿的人合作。
我们寻找的：
- 通常文章长度为 800 - 2,000 字。我们接受更长的文章，但通常会向之前合作过的撰稿人征求。
- * 报道其他博客或新闻媒体尚未广泛报道的议题。
- * 我们希望报道过去一年内发表的研究，但这不是硬性规定。
- * 相关性：我们的目标是让科学变得有趣，实现这一目标的主要方式是展示它如何与读者的生活相关联。
* 有一点幽默感或奇思妙想。
薪资：我们的起始薪资是每篇已发表文章 150 美元。我们理想上希望撰稿人每周能写几篇文章，但也欢迎才华横溢的作家。
注意：由于收到的申请数量较多，我们无法逐一回复，但如果我们认为你有良好的匹配度，将在 48 小时内与你联系。
如果你有特定的故事想法想要投稿：请附上工作标题、主题和潜在来源。虽然在决定是否发表前我们需要看到完整稿件，但你可以先投稿想法，让我们评估是否适合我们。

Science Buzz is a pre-launch blog that's focused on making research in the physical sciences accessible to a general audience.
We're looking for contributors with subject matter expertise in Earth Science, Biology, Physics, Astronomy, and Chemistry (and their sub-disciplines) to produce high-quality posts on recent discoveries/research, as well as guides and outlining content for infographics.
About you:
- You're an expert in some scientific domain. That doesn't necessarily mean you have a Ph.D. or have worked in the field professionally; we're happy to hire passionate amateurs. It does mean that you're familiar with the leading academic journals in the subject and have the background knowledge to understand the significance of new research.
- * You can write clearly about complex topics. This means you know the Jargon of the field, but can communicate what is essential without relying on it.
- * You understand the elements of producing viral content and aren't averse to formulas when they work (e.g., listicles).
Pros of working with us:
- Get paid to learn and write about something you're genuinely interested in
- * All work published under your byline
- * Flexibility: we rarely have strict deadlines and are happy to work with people who aren't able to contribute regularly.
What we look for:
- Typical article length of 800 - 2,000 words. We're open to longer pieces but will typically solicit them from contributors who we've worked with previously.
- * Coverage of a topic that hasn't been widely reported on other blogs or in the press.
- * We want to cover research that has been published in the last year, though this is not a hard rule.
- * Relevance: our goal is to make science engaging, the primary way to do that is by illustrating how it connects to the lives of our readers.
* A sense of humor or whimsy.
Rates: Our starting rate is $150 per published article. Ideally, we would like contributors who can write several articles per week but are open to working with talented writers who as well.
Note: Because of the volume of applications we receive, we aren't able to personally follow up with everyone, but we will be in touch within 48 hours if it seems like there's a good potential match.
If you have a specific story idea you would like to pitch: please include the working title, subject, and potential sources. While we will need to see a full draft before committing to publish a piece, you can pitch an idea get our impression of whether it's a fit for us.
