Freelance writer needed for research compendium

We need a freelance writer to help produce content for our research compendium.

The compendium audience consists mostly of people with scientific training, but across a range of disciplines (e.g. vets, public health professionals, microbiologists, virologists, computer modellers). Consequently, we are adopting a quasi-scientific style (can assume some scientific terminology is acceptable, and can include figures, tables, etc.).

Each chapter synthesises the major outcomes of the past 7 years of funding of the Australian Biosecurity CRC in that thematic area. Most chapters are being written in-house, but as this is a major project we are looking for someone to write the following chapters:

- Livestock Disease Diagnostics (estimate 7000 words)

- International Outreach and Postgraduate Program (estimate 5000 words)

All content needs to be finalised by March 2010

If you are interested in this work please forward your quote and some examples of your work to corinna.lange@abcrc.org.au by close of business Tuesday 24 November. For more information contact either Corinna Lange (P: 0423 782 198; E corinna.lange@abcrc.org.au) or Liz Williams (P: (08) 9266-1705; E: liz.williams@abcrc.org.au)
