About Lockwood: Lockwood collaborates with clients in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device industries to identify effective, holistic, science-based strategies to address their objectives through medical communications. Our clients count on us to challenge their assumptions and help them creatively navigate around obstacles. From strategy through execution, we focus on accuracy, transparency, and scientific value to create programs that are evidence-based, clinically relevant, and contribute to the development of our clients’ brands. Over a third of our staff hold advanced scientific or medical degrees, and most work from where they live. Because our flexible structure provides better work-life balance, we attract the best talent, facilitate their best work, and as a result, are more responsive to our clients, wherever and whenever they do business.

• Conducting background research, data-checking, and reference annotation.

Education: An advanced degree in science (e.g., PhD, PharmD, or MD) is required. CMPP preferred.

Professional Skills and Requirements:

• Candidates must have 4 or more years of relevant job experience with medical publications, including manuscripts, posters, abstracts, podium presentations, scientific platforms, and publication extenders.
• This role requires demonstrated organizational, analytical, and interpersonal communication skills, as well as the ability to analyze and interpret scientific data, multitask, work independently, and manage projects within tight deadlines with limited direction.
• Experience with established professional medical editorial processes (e.g., AMA style) and ethical guideline working knowledge (e.g., ICMJE, GPP2022) is also required.
• Experience with oncology, hematology, cardiovascular medicine, and/or respiratory medicine is a plus.
