Working for us
We’re always looking for talented and motivated people to work as part of our close-knit team. Roles range from editorial to production, marketing to event co-ordination, HR to accounts. Our size means that you will also have the opportunity to get involved with specialist projects.
Our staff have a variety of backgrounds – with many coming from scientific research as well as from the world of publishing. It’s this mix of experience that helps us to support and inspire the biological community.
We are an equal opportunities employer and offer a competitive salary and benefits including a non-contributory pension scheme. Staff are based in our Cambridge office.
Vacancies will be posted on this page, but if you don’t see anything relevant please do still get in touch with us by emailing recruitment@biologists.com.
Community site paid internship
The Company of Biologists currently has an opportunity for a paid three-month internship to work on our community sites – the Node, preLights and FocalPlane. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in the rapidly growing online science communication environment, to develop writing skills, and to learn about academic publishing.
Together, the Company’s three community sites provide platforms for the research community to share news, discuss issues relevant to the field, and read about the latest research and events. The Node is a field-specific site for developmental biologists, FocalPlane aims to bring together the microscopy and biology communities, and preLights is focussed on highlighting the preprint literature and exploring the journey from preprint to publication. The intern will be involved in the day-to-day running of one or more of the sites and will be mentored by the existing Community Manager(s). The internship will be based in our office in Cambridge, with hybrid working opportunities. Please see the full role description for further details.
We are looking for an intern to start in summer 2025. The closing date for applications is 5 June 2025. To apply, please send a CV and cover letter, stating why you are interested in this opportunity, to recruitment@biologists.com. Please also direct informal enquiries to the same addresses. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
Hosted internships
We offer professional internships for PhD students. Each internship is carefully defined, both with the institute and the individual, and usually involves projects with our journal teams. Each year, we host a 12-week internship with a focus on data gathering and analysis.
We are currently also looking for one or more interns to work on our community sites – the Node, preLights and FocalPlane. If you are interested in applying for either of these opportunities, please contact us at recruitment@biologists.com.
Hosted internships are funded through PhD programmes – created by funders to help further your professional development – and should be agreed with your PhD supervisor and institute.
