STAT, the leading health and medicine publication, is looking for an experienced editor to oversee our First Opinion section — our version of an Op-Ed page — a platform for essays and first-person narratives by thought leaders, executives, health care providers, scientists, academics, patients, and others with original and compelling perspectives. First Opinion has become an important... global platform for debating timely issues in the life sciences, biopharma, health care and public health. This person would fill a core role on the editing team and be responsible for cementing First Opinion’s place as one of the leading sites for opinion on life sciences and health care. This editor would solicit pieces, review unsolicited submissions and vet their authors, edit accepted articles, and ensure we publish a broad range of viewpoints from a diverse group of writers.
What you’ll do:
— Select and prepare for publication one or two First Opinion pieces per weekday.
— Solicit essays from writers with a broad range of perspectives on timely topics in the news,
and from authors of upcoming or just-published research, reports, or guidelines on important issues relevant to STAT readers.
— Evaluate submissions that arrive over the transom from potential contributors.
— Edit pieces selected for publication, and vet authors to ensure they meet STAT guidelines for contributors and disclose relevant conflicts of interest.
— Identify opinion pieces with a biopharma or health care industry focus that would be of particular interest to STAT+ subscribers.
— Give voice to people from diverse backgrounds, including those from racial, ethnic, and gender groups that have been historically underrepresented in public discourse on health issues.
— Have the option to host the First Opinion podcast, a weekly interview with a First Opinion author, and work with podcast producers to select the guest and prepare for the taping.
— Produce the weekly First Opinion newsletter.
— Contribute to STAT’s general editorial work, including by attending daily editors meetings and moderating comments.
Who you are:
— You have at least five years experience as an editor, preferably with a track record of working with writers of opinion or first-person essays.
— You possess deep knowledge of issues in healthcare and life sciences, gained from experience in journalism, academia, or other relevant experience.
— You have a discerning eye for sorting through many more submissions than we can publish, and detecting which ones have fresh angles and will make for cogent pieces.
— You’ve demonstrated the ability to make a writer’s prose accessible to a general audience of non-specialists.
— STAT prides itself on a collaborative spirit, flexibility, and a willingness to innovate, and we are looking for those skills in this editor. Also essential: fidelity to bedrock journalistic values and a commitment to excellence.
Compensation/Location:
— The minimum salary for this position is $100,000. We offer a competitive benefits package, including health insurance, a 401k plan, generous vacation, parental leave, and more. We also provide Care.com back-up care and have numerous wellness offerings, including free access to HeadSpace for all full time employees.
— Ideally, this editor would be based at our Boston headquarters, but that is not a requirement. The STAT office is located in downtown Boston, and is easily accessible by MBTA and commuter rail lines.

The Role
STAT is seeking an enterprising reporter to pioneer a new beat covering medical devices, an area that is ripe for ambitious reporting. This reporter’s mission will be to make our coverage of medical devices a must-read for STAT’s audience, working closely with our team of technology reporters. We aren’t looking for a reporter who wants to cover every device rollout, fundraising round, or incremental update to health care policy. This reporter should be keen to dive into the big stories: the mistakes that forced massive recalls, the shoddy oversight that leads to patient harm, and the billion-dollar acquisitions that go belly-up.
What You’ll Do
• Tell smart, important stories on the multi-billion dollar medical devices industry, with an emphasis on how business and regulatory practices impact patient care. This reporter will scrutinize prominent medical device makers and their products, probe gaps in oversight and evidence, and illuminate how financial incentives influence industry practices.
• Be key player on a top-notch team producing deep and vital reporting of technology in health care, and collaborate closely with STAT’s business and policy reporters. There are exciting opportunities for this reporter’s work to intersect with STAT’s ongoing coverage of AI in health care, lobbying, regulation, and more.
• Contribute to STAT’s health tech newsletter, and play a role in helping organize and moderate at STAT events.
Who You Are
• A versatile writer with experience in health care or business reporting. Experience covering medical devices is a plus.
• Prepared to dive in on a wide range of stories. This reporter will pursue ambitious and impactful investigations and features, but should also expect to write breaking news and news analysis on the medical devices beat.
• Passionate about pursuing scoops, and eager to plant a flag. This reporter will help to launch a new line of reporting at STAT, and can expect to play an important part in shaping our coverage strategy. This role will report to STAT’s health tech editor.
• A self-starter when it comes to coming up with story ideas and generating ways into them, but also collaborative in nature. STAT thrives on a tight-knit, all-hands-on-deck culture and a strong team dynamic.
• Committed to journalistic excellence.
Compensation/Location
The minimum salary for this position is $80,000. We offer a competitive benefits package, including health insurance, a 401k plan, generous vacation, parental leave, and more. We also provide Care.com back-up care and have numerous wellness offerings, including free access to HeadSpace for all full time employees.
The STAT office is located in downtown Boston, nearby Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, and is easily accessible by MBTA and commuter rail lines. We have colleagues in the organization that come into the office on a regular basis and colleagues that are based in various cities throughout the US. For this role, we will consider candidates who are based anywhere in the United States.
