Summary:

This role is writing-facing and investigator-facing within the

Department of Surgery:

you will partner with surgical faculty, clinical investigators, trainees, biostatisticians, data scientists, and research staff to develop high-quality scientific manuscripts, abstracts, presentations, reports, and other scholarly products. The primary focus of this position is manuscript and scientific content development. This includes helping investigators move from research idea, analysis output, or rough draft to a clear, well-structured, publication-ready scientific product. The Medical Editor will support the Department of Surgery's academic productivity by improving manuscript development, strengthening scientific narratives, organizing results, aligning content with journal or conference expectations, and helping investigators communicate the impact of their work. This is not primarily a copyediting or formatting role. While the Medical Editor should have strong editing skills, the core responsibility is higher-level scientific writing, structure, synthesis, and manuscript development.

Responsibilities:

1. Partner with surgical investigators, trainees, biostatisticians, data scientists, and research staff to develop high-quality manuscripts, abstracts, presentations, research summaries, and reports. 2. Support investigators in moving scholarly projects from research idea, analysis output, or rough draft through manuscript development and submission. 3. Draft, revise, and strengthen manuscript sections, including introductions, methods, results summaries, discussions, limitations, conclusions, cover letters, and response-to-reviewer materials. 4. Help investigators organize scientific arguments, clarify study rationale, interpret findings appropriately, and present results in a clear, publication-ready format. 5. Translate statistical, analytic, and clinical findings into accurate scientific language while ensuring methods, results, tables, figures, and conclusions are aligned. 6. Assist with abstracts and presentations for regional, national, and international surgical and research conferences. 7. Conduct targeted literature reviews to support manuscript introductions, discussion sections, research concept development, and scholarly positioning. 8. Help investigators identify appropriate journals, conferences, article types, reporting guidelines, and submission strategies. 9. Ensure manuscripts and abstracts follow applicable journal, conference, and reporting requirements, including STROBE, CONSORT, PRISMA, CARE, SQUIRE, or other relevant guidelines. 10. Coordinate manuscript timelines, version control, author input, revisions, submission materials, and related project follow-up. 11. Maintain awareness of authorship standards, publication ethics, plagiarism prevention, conflicts of interest, and institutional policies related to scholarly work. 12. Contribute to Department of Surgery research infrastructure and writing support by developing templates, workflows, checklists, publication tracking processes, and mentoring trainees, junior faculty, and research staff in scholarly communication.
