[Hiring] Medical Writer @Journey Clinical

Role Description We're looking for a Medical Writer who can hold complexity with precision — someone who understands the clinical rigor of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and can translate it for clinicians, patients, referring providers, journalists, and policymakers without flattening it. This is not a role for someone who wants to write hype. It's also not a role for someone inclined toward reflexive skepticism about psychedelic medicine. It's a role for someone who has done the reading, understands the nuance, and can write clearly from that place. This role is central to Journey Clinical’s ambition to become the most trusted, evidence-grounded destination for psychedelic medicine education — a place clinicians, patients, referring providers, journalists, and policymakers turn to for clear, rigorous, clinically grounded information. You will help shape what Journey Clinical publishes and how the field is understood by the audiences who are making decisions about care, referral, coverage, regulation, and public perception. You will be the primary voice behind the Journey Clinical blog and a key contributor to our broader content ecosystem — including clinician-facing education, patient-facing resources, press materials, and strategic thought leadership. You will work closely with our clinical team, research partners, and CEO to ensure that every piece we publish reflects the current state of the evidence, the realities of clinical practice, and the human stakes of this work.

What You'll Do

• Write, edit, and own the Journey Clinical blog across multiple audience types: licensed clinicians, patients and families, referring psychiatrists and PCPs, press and media, and policymakers.
• Cover the full landscape of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy — including ketamine, MDMA, psilocybin, and emerging modalities.
• Translate complex clinical and scientific material into clear, accurate, and compelling content.
• Develop deep working knowledge of Journey Clinical's clinical protocols, including patient eligibility criteria, contraindications, dosing structures, and psychotherapy frameworks.
• Cite primary research accurately and rigorously. Follow the science where it leads.
• Optimize content for AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), SEO, and GEO.
• Bring editorial judgment to the framing of psychedelic therapy in public discourse.
• 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.

Qualifications

• 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.
• 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.
• Deep familiarity with the psychedelic medicine landscape.
• Exceptional writing skills with a strong portfolio of published work.
• A genuine commitment to scientific rigor.
• An understanding of AEO/SEO/GEO content principles.
• Intellectual honesty about psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving, founder-led environment.

Why This Role The conversation about psychedelic medicine is happening whether we shape it or not. Journey Clinical is positioned to be the most credible infrastructure-layer voice in this space: a source that clinicians, patients, referring providers, journalists, and policymakers can rely on for information that is accurate, clinically grounded, and intellectually honest. This role is central to that ambition. You will help establish Journey Clinical as a go-to destination for psychedelic medicine education by writing at the intersection of science, clinical practice, and public understanding.
