Scientific Writer
Arc Institute
Grant writer job in Palo Alto, CA
The Arc Institute is a new scientific institution conducting curiosity-driven basic science and technology development to understand and treat complex human diseases. Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, Arc is an independent research organization founded on the belief that many important research programs will be enabled by new institutional models. Arc operates in partnership with Stanford University, UCSF, and UC Berkeley.
While the prevailing university research model has yielded many tremendous successes, we believe in the importance of institutional experimentation as a way to make progress. These include:
Funding: Arc fully funds Core Investigators' (PIs') research groups, liberating scientists from the typical constraints of project-based external grants.
Technology: Biomedical research has become increasingly dependent on complex tooling. Arc Technology Centers develop, optimize, and deploy rapidly advancing experimental and computational technologies in collaboration with Core Investigators.
Support: Arc aims to provide first-class support-operationally, financially, and scientifically-that will enable scientists to pursue long-term high risk, high reward research that can meaningfully advance progress in disease cures, including neurodegeneration, cancer, and immune dysfunction.
Culture: We believe that culture matters enormously in science and that excellence is difficult to sustain. We aim to create a culture that is focused on scientific curiosity, a deep commitment to truth, broad ambition, and selfless collaboration.
Arc has scaled to over 350 people to date. With $650M+ in committed funding and a state of the art new lab facility in Palo Alto, Arc will continue to grow quickly in the coming years.

As Arc's Scientific Writer, you'll serve as the bridge between Arc's world-class interdisciplinary research and its diverse audiences. You'll work collaboratively with Arc's Core Investigators, Science Fellows, Innovation Investigators, and Tech Center researchers to ensure their work is accurately and compellingly communicated to other researchers, employees, and other Institute audiences. You'll develop a deep understanding of Arc's science, the Institute's's goals, and where everything fits into the larger research ecosystem to prepare content that resonates with scientific readers. This is a hybrid onsite role, reporting to the Head of Communications.
About you
Exceptional writer, editor, and presenter with a portfolio of work communicating to researcher and/or technical audiences
Thoughtful about translating complex science for target audiences without sacrificing accuracy
Detail-oriented professional who asks good questions, takes feedback well, and understands the importance of scientific precision
Strong collaborator who can work effectively with diverse research teams and support staff
Lifelong learner who is excited to communicate about a range of research happening at the interface of biology, AI, engineering, neuroscience, and immunology
In this position you will
Write and edit research updates, blog posts, press releases, and web content that accurately represents Arc's diverse research portfolio
Assist researchers with journal commentaries and perspective manuscript preparation, particularly in translating technical findings for broader scientific audiences
Collaborate with Arc scientists to develop presentations for internal meetings, conferences, and stakeholder presentations
Work closely with Arc scientists to understand and communicate emerging research developments while identifying opportunities to participate in broader scientific discussions that could raise Arc's profile
Identify opportunities for strategic content that would help Arc tell its story
Requirements
PhD in biological sciences, computational biology, machine learning, neuroscience, or related field with demonstrated research experience
3+ years conducting original scientific research with a track record of peer-reviewed publications
Proven ability to write about complex scientific topics for both technical and general audiences
Experience creating presentations and visual materials for scientific audiences
Excellent project management skills and ability to work on multiple pieces simultaneously
Able to commit to a hybrid onsite schedule.
The base salary range for this position is $110,250 - $135,500. These amounts reflect the range of base salary that the Institute reasonably would expect to pay a new hire or internal candidate for this position. The actual base compensation paid to any individual for this position may vary depending on factors such as experience, market conditions, education/training, skill level, and whether the compensation is internally equitable, and does not include bonuses, commissions, differential pay, other forms of compensation, or benefits.

News Snappr is the one-stop-shop for visual content for brands, including the largest on-demand marketplace for photographers and videographers. Snappr News is a new product line: an editorial photo and video product launching in 2026, starting with technology news in the San Francisco Bay Area. We will cover the top tech stories of the day with stunning visuals that can't be found anywhere else. You'll play a leading role in shaping the product and business model from the ground up, and helping define how the world gets visuals for the moments that matter. This is our first ever internship position for this product.
The Role
You'll work alongside the Snappr News team to cover broad tech news and tech's impact across San Francisco and the Bay Area: companies, founders, workers, money, culture, policy, and the on-the-ground moments that explain what's actually happening - beyond the press releases.
This is a photo and video capture internship. You won't need to edit - we have a whole backend platform for that!
You'll get a front seat view of the early days of a new product at a fast growing technology startup!
What You'll Do:
* Report visually in the field: breaking news, events, portraits, features, and "tech meets real life" stories.
* Deliver fast: often same-day, frequently within hours, occasionally immediately when news breaks.
* Produce both photo and video on assignment: from quick hit coverage to short-form storytelling.
* Write complete, accurate captions for every photo/video: names, titles, dates, locations, context - no guessing. Use AI tools responsibly to speed up your writing and tagging without sacrificing quality.
* Tag and package everything correctly in the proprietary Snappr News app: keywords, locations, people/companies, and legal information.
* Operate according to photojournalistic ethics and standards.
* Receive coaching from experienced photographers.
Must-Haves:
* Strong photographic portfolio (street photography is a good proxy if you don't have experience in photojournalism specifically).
* Solid video shooting skills.
* Extreme attention to detail.
* Charismatic and love meeting new people.
* Calm under pressure.
* Patient.
Strong Preference:
* Studying a relevant field at a local university (preference to Bekeley and Stanford).
* Experience in photojournalism (e.g. school photojournalism).
* Motorbike license (or willing to get one). We have company bikes.
Gear
We provide top-end gear. If you prefer, we will consider allowing you to use your own kit if it's full-frame and compatible with our hardware and remote transfer requirements.
Office
When you're not out shooting, you'll be based out of our office in downtown San Francisco.
Schedule
8-12 weeks over summer - flexible depending on school schedule. Mostly Mon-Fri, with occasional weekend assignments and on-call. Must be flexible for evening events and fast-breaking coverage.
Compensation & Benefits
* $25 per hour (40 hours per week).
* Approved travel expenses covered where needed.

Grants Manager
Stanford University 4.5
Grant writer job in Stanford, CA
This position is based on Stanford's main campus, with consideration given to the option for a hybrid work schedule (partially onsite and offsite), subject to operational need. The Geballe Lab for Advanced Materials (GLAM) is a transdisciplinary Independent Laboratory within the Office of the Vice Provost & Dean of Research, which spearheads innovative and high-impact research in bio-inspired materials, sustainable energy, quantum science, and electronic systems. With 32 faculty and ~250 students, postdocs, and scientific staff across six departments - primarily Physics, Applied Physics, and Materials Science & Engineering - GLAM's research portfolio is large, complex, and highly-heterogeneous, producing and reproducing strong relationships with many Stanford departments and administrative units, SLAC, and federal and non-federal sponsors. As GLAM gradually expands its community-led programming for interdisciplinary and social collaboration, it relies upon 17 high-performing administrative staff to comprehensively support its researchers, trainees, visitors, and campus partners.
POSITION SUMMARY
GLAM seeks an ambitious, communicative, and detail-oriented Grants Manager (Research Administrator 2) to spearhead pre-award and post-award financial and compliance efforts for a complex and highly-active research portfolio. Reporting to the Assistant Director of Research Administration, and with a dotted-line reporting line to the Managing Director, the Grants Manager will join an interdependent and highly-collaborative team of four other research administrators, who altogether forge a robust administrative structure that fosters high-risk, high-reward research initiatives. The incumbent will work independently alongside GLAM faculty and trainees and will collaborate transparently and meaningfully with senior and junior staff from across many university units on budget development, financial management, proposal submission, award management and reconciliation, reporting, and policy communication.
A successful candidate should possess prior experience in grant development, financial accounting, and/or budget management. Further, a successful candidate must have a growth mindset, commitment to optimism and flexibility, and strong emotional intelligence; they must demonstrate an eagerness to flexibly collaborate with academic and administrative personnel in order to contribute to GLAM's mission of inclusive research excellence.
To foster the strongest possible administrative learning community, GLAM is eager to train employees who enter the position without all of the qualifications or requisite prior experiences; a candidate's motivation to learn, grow, and self-reflect counts for a lot. Therefore, GLAM may consider an equivalent combination of knowledge, skills, attitude, education, and experience to meet the minimum qualifications detailed below. If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and skill set, how you can actively grow and learn to become a stellar research administrator, and how you can contribute to GLAM's success.
