Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The specialist will research, write, and edit complex scientific information into engaging content for digital, social, and print platforms. They will also manage content through internal review processes and monitor engagement analytics to inform future communication strategies.
Candidates must have a bachelor's degree in a relevant field and at least 4 years of professional experience in science or technical communications. Proficiency in visual content creation tools and familiarity with federal web publishing standards are highly desired.
You are the kind of communicator who finds a hurricane forecast just as compelling as a viral social post — because you understand that both are stories, and both matter. As a Science Content & Digital Media Specialist supporting NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), you will be embedded at a NOAA laboratory or program, providing day-to-day writing, visual content creation, and editorial support across digital, social media, and print platforms. You'll research and write news stories about cutting-edge atmospheric science, develop eye-catching graphics and videos that bring ocean research to life on Instagram and YouTube, and shepherd content through NOAA's rigorous scientific review process to make sure every word is accurate and every image is on-brand. This is a role for a creative professional with a scientific mindset — someone who can move seamlessly between a technical research summary and a 280-character social post, always keeping the audience at the center of every content decision.
