Write for Us

We’re looking to add enthusiastic science writers to our team!

If you are a graduate student, postdoc, or upper-level undergraduate with passion for writing and science outreach and wish to contribute particle physics-related content, email us at [email protected] with:

• Your CV
• A draft of a proposed ParticleBite post

Why write for ParticleBites?

ParticeBites is part of the ScienceBites network of scientific reader’s digest blogs. As a ParticleBites writer, you will

• actively engage with current research by summarizing recent particle physics results
• connect with a global network of science communicators
• inspire the next generation of physicists
• collaborate with like-minded researchers to sharpen your writing and editing skills
• participate a series of exclusive ComSciCon workshops for early career scientists
• network with guest physicists and journalists through regular meet ups
• access to ParticleBites swag (stickers, mugs)
• gain professional recognition for your science writing.

How are authors selected?

Authors will be selected based on their academic and science communication backgrounds, and a sample ParticleBite blog post.

Post format and frequency

Authors are expected to write one post every month. A ParticleBites post summarizes a recent or classic research result from the arXiv to an undergraduate student audience. A typical post is between 500-1000 words, contains a figure from the paper, and a list of references where a student can learn more.

Different styles of posts are also welcome. ParticleBites is a platform for insights into life as an early career physicists, advice columns for students, particle physics conference summaries.

How do I apply?

Send your CV and sample post (in the above format) to [email protected].
