** It may take a day or two but we ALWAYS respond to volunteers. If you do not hear from us, please check your SPAM folder for messages from us.**

We are currently looking for assistance with writing content for our website (3 month obligation with 1 project per week approximately). Please note, this is not grant writing but could involve some research.

The perfect candidate would be eager to learn more about cord blood stem cells, enjoy writing with a scientific edge, have excellent journalism and copyediting skills. This person would be invited to research and write on specific topics as well as participate in interviewing special guests (written interviews). Projects will be given about once a week with a typical turnaround time of 3-5 days. All finished work would be submitted via Word or Google Docs. No website skills necessary. Excellent writing skills are a must.

Here are a few examples of the type of writing we expect:

If you are interested, please contact us with a bit of background information about yourself and a few writing samples.

TRAINING: Please be prepared to dedicate at least 3 months to this opportunity because some training will be required in the beginning in order to become familiar with the topic and our group's writing style. Training should last about a week and could involve participating in conference calls, reading and team meetings.

Thank you in advance for your help!
