Can you pick out the flaws in a muddled argument? Do you have a knack for giving pedestrian prose the sparkle that will turn it into a compelling read? If so, you may be the talented person 91av is looking for to take up a paid, one-year traineeship with the magazine’s subediting team at our central London office.
As well as a passion for explaining scientific ideas in an easy-to-understand way, you will have an excellent grasp of English, impeccable spelling and the persistence to hunt down and eliminate that very last typo in a story. Although a scientific degree is preferable, it is not essential. Full training will be provided and the start date is negotiable.
