Every day, more and more researchers across the world use Claude for scientific discovery and we get closer to the vision outlined in Machines of Loving Grace. To support Anthropic’s mission of supporting science with AI, we recently launched AI for Science and the Claude for Life Sciences programs. Now, we are bringing on an experienced science communicator to produce editorial content that amplifies our work in and for the sciences, demonstrates AI’s potential and progress, and engages the public in this critical effort.
About the role
You'll shape how Anthropic communicates with the world about AI and science. This will involve writing (and other communication) about advances and announcements in our scientific programs, as well as the production of long and short-form content that engages audiences and informs them about how AI is changing scientific research. To do this, you’ll need to have excellent technical understanding of the scientific questions at hand and how AI can potentially be applied to solve them, as well as stellar writing and communication skills.
About the Editorial team
The Editorial team is responsible for shaping how Anthropic communicates about AI—from digital and printed publications to public events. Our goal is to build understanding about both the opportunities and challenges of advanced AI systems. The Editorial team collaborates extensively with partner teams across the organization.
Role Responsibilities:
- Create engaging written (and other) content about Anthropic's AI for Science work
- Collaborate with teams across the org to identify compelling angles and stories from their work
- Help to build audiences among scientific researchers, policymakers, and the AI-interested public about how AI is affecting, and could affect, scientific progress
- Liaise with external scientific researchers to learn about how they’re applying AI in their research
- Work with the wider communications team and our brand/creative colleagues to develop creative, exciting, unexpected multimedia content (and a broader strategy for this work)
- Contribute to Anthropic's thought leadership in AI research, AI progress, and AI safety discussions, with particular reference to AI for Science.

- Enjoy collaborating with multiple teams and managing multiple projects
- Are comfortable adapting your writing/communications style for different audiences and formats
- Apply critical thinking and analysis to all aspects of communications
Strong candidates may also have:
- An advanced degree in a biomedical or other scientific discipline
- Direct experience of using AI models to contribute to scientific research
- A portfolio demonstrating creative approaches to technical communication
- Experience with multimedia content development
- Experience with developing longer-term content strategies
- A track record of building engaged audiences around technical content
