Job Title: Epidemiology or Biostatistics Research Assistant Needed - Company: Location: baltimore, MD Description: I am a freelance science writer. I am working on some material that requires translating some of the data from journal articles into text that a lay audience can understand. I do not need the entire article translated; I only need specific pieces of information converted or reworded. For example, if the article states that 23% of patients experienced side effects, I need to have it written that 23 out of 100 patients experienced side effects. It won't all be converting percentages; some will be a little more involved, but not much. I have an advanced degree in epidemiology and know how to do this myself (and therefore can provide detailed instructions), but I just don't have time. This work needs to be completed over the next few weeks. If you are interested, please send your resume/CV. I will pay $15 per completed article via Paypal. I have at least 20 articles, perhaps more. Thanks for your interest. Location: Baltimore Compensation: $15 per completed article Telecommuting is ok. Principals only. Recruiters, please don't contact this job poster.
