Role summary
Lila Sciences is seeking an Editorial Content Co-Op to join their Communications team from January to May. This role involves end-to-end content creation, including drafting articles and social copy, interviewing scientists, scripting and producing short-form video, and creating visuals to explain complex scientific topics. The co-op will also contribute to content planning and launch strategy, working closely with experienced journalists. Ideal candidates have strong writing skills in science or news reporting, can explain scientific subjects to non-experts, and are comfortable interviewing subject-matter experts.

Your Impact at LILA
The Editorial Content Co-Op joins Lila's Communications team to help tell the story of the company's scientific work across life sciences, materials science, and AI research. Output is published on lila.ai/news and Lila's social channels.
The co-op writes and produces content end to end: drafting articles and social copy, interviewing scientists about their work, scripting and producing short-form video, and building visuals that make complex science legible. They also contribute to content planning and launch strategy, and support occasional team events.
This is a good fit for a candidate who writes clearly about scientific subjects and wants real newsroom-style reps alongside working scientists. The co-op works directly with the editorial team, all former journalists, and reports to the hiring manager.
