What is the difference between Senior Science Communication vs Science Writer?

AspectSenior Science CommunicationScience Writer
Required CredentialsAdvanced degree in science or communication, experience in science outreachDegree in journalism, communications, or related field; strong writing skills
Work EnvironmentResearch institutions, science centers, universities, public outreachMedia outlets, publishing companies, online platforms
Employer & Industry UsageUsed in academia, government agencies, science museumsCommon in media, publishing, science journalism

While both roles involve communicating science, Senior Science Communication focuses on strategic outreach and public engagement, often within institutions. Science Writers primarily produce articles, reports, and content for media outlets. The roles overlap in communication skills but differ in scope and environment.

Job description

Description
Kodiak Sciences Inc. is a fast-growing, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on transforming ophthalmology through innovative therapeutics. Our Antibody Biopolymer Conjugate Drug (ABCD) platform integrates protein and peptide engineering & discovery, polymer chemistry, small molecule drug discovery, bioconjugation, and drug delivery technologies to address high-prevalence ophthalmic diseases.
We are seeking a talented Scientist/Senior Scientist to advance peptide therapeutic drug discovery and development programs with a strong emphasis on molecular design, organic synthesis, and analytical characterization.
Key Responsibilities
  • Lead the design, synthesis, and optimization of peptide-based therapeutics, integrating Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) considerations, developability and conjugation strategies to drive candidate progression.
  • Perform hands-on experimental work including, but not limited to DNA-Encoded Library synthesis, Macrocyclic and Linear Peptide synthesis, polymer conjugation chemistry, purification and analytical evaluation, data interpretation and developability risk assessment.
  • Develop and apply analytical and biophysical methods (e.g., LC-MS, HPLC, NMR, SEC, DLS) to characterize peptides and bioconjugates, including purity, heterogeneity, stability, and aggregation.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally and communicate scientific findings through presentations, reports, and regulatory documentation.

Education / Qualifications
  • Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Chemical Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field, with either (i) 0-3 years of relevant postdoctoral experience and at least one first-author publication in a high-impact, peer-reviewed journal (preferred), or (ii) 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience working with either of the following methodologies, such as Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS), DNA-Encoded Library (DEL) synthesis, liquid phase parallel synthesis and/or polymer-based bioconjugates is highly desirable.
  • Strong experience in therapeutic development of peptides, and/or conjugated biologics, experience in analytical characterization is a plus.
  • Proficiency in chromatographic and mass spectrometry-based techniques, with an understanding of developability attributes such as stability, solubility, and manufacturability is a plus.
  • Experience in using software such as PyMol, MOE, Schrödinger, Maestro, DataWarrior, Vortex is a plus.
  • Experience with CD and/or FTIR for peptide secondary structure determination is a plus.
  • Hands-on experience with biochemical assays, including SPR, ELISA, fluorescence-based assays, is a plus.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently drive scientific work in a collaborative, cross-functional environment, with strong problem-solving and communication skills.
