[Remote] Medical Writer, Content & Education Journey Clinical | Part-Time | Remote

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Journey Clinical is seeking a Medical Writer who can effectively communicate the complexities of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to various audiences. The role involves writing and editing content for the Journey Clinical blog, developing educational resources, and ensuring that published materials reflect current clinical practices and research. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in medical writing and a deep understanding of the psychedelic medicine landscape.

Responsibilities

• Write, edit, and own the Journey Clinical blog across multiple audience types: licensed clinicians considering adding psychedelic-assisted therapy to their practice, patients and families exploring treatment options, referring psychiatrists and PCPs, press and media, and policymakers
• Cover the full landscape of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy — including ketamine, MDMA, psilocybin, and emerging modalities — tracking the clinical trial literature, regulatory developments, and evolving protocols across the field
• Translate complex clinical and scientific material into clear, accurate, and compelling content — without oversimplifying or overclaiming
• Develop deep working knowledge of Journey Clinical's clinical protocols, including patient eligibility criteria, contraindications, dosing structures, and psychotherapy frameworks, so that content reflects actual practice rather than abstraction
• Cite primary research accurately and rigorously. Follow the science where it leads. Flag uncertainty where it exists. Liaise directly with researchers, clinicians, and external experts to answer detailed questions before publication
• Optimize content for AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), SEO, and GEO — working within a structured content strategy and coordinating with our SEO execution team
• Bring editorial judgment to the framing of psychedelic therapy in public discourse: neither evangelizing nor minimizing, but representing the field with the nuance it deserves
• Contribute to press materials, CEO communications, partner-facing documents, and clinical education content as needed
• Help position Journey Clinical as the go-to trusted resource for psychedelic medicine information by developing content that is scientifically rigorous, clinically useful, publicly accessible, and strategically aligned with the needs of clinicians, patients, referring providers, journalists, and policymakers

Skills

• 3-5 years of experience in medical writing, science communication, or clinical education content
• Direct experience covering psychedelic medicine, psychiatry, or neuroscience is strongly preferred and may offset fewer years of overall experience
• A background in medicine, clinical psychology, neuroscience, pharmacology, or a closely adjacent field
• An advanced degree (MD, PhD, NP, PA, MSN, or equivalent) is a strong plus, though demonstrated expertise and writing quality will be weighted heavily
• Deep familiarity with the psychedelic medicine landscape — including the MDMA and psilocybin clinical trial literature, MAPS and Compass Pathways research programs, the regulatory environment, the key researchers and institutions, and the ongoing debates within the field
• Exceptional writing. You can shift register between a peer-reviewed summary and a patient-facing explainer without losing clarity or accuracy in either direction
• A strong portfolio of published work is required
• A genuine commitment to scientific rigor: you verify claims, read primary sources, and push back when something doesn't hold up
• An understanding of AEO/SEO/GEO content principles, or a demonstrated ability to learn and apply them quickly in a structured content workflow
• Intellectual honesty about what psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is, what it isn't, who it helps, and who it may not — and the ability to write from that honest place
• Comfort working in a fast-moving, founder-led environment where content serves both clinical credibility and business growth
