We are seeking scientists, science historians or science writers with a PhD in the natural science/health/economic science fields, excellent writing skills and a sound experience in science writing. Text production applies to the development of scientific text clusters (Topic Cluster; EUR 2500 gross/each) and biographical profiles (Research Profile; EUR 750 gross/each).

Topic Clusters compile comprehensible introductions to major scientific fields and topics, like cancer, proteins, sub-atomic particles, or quantum mechanics. They cluster and contextualise related Mediatheque content by referring to science lectures held by Nobel Laureates in Lindau. They basically aim at informing/educating young scientists:

Research Profiles are biographical profiles of all Nobel Laureates who have thus far participated in the Lindau Meetings. They contain explanatory information on the scientific accomplishments of the laureates, relating their research to the historical as well as to the contemporary scientific context. They basically aim at informing/educating young scientists, grammar students and the general public:
