About Psychology Today
Psychology Today is the world's largest behavioral science media enterprise, reaching millions of readers through PsychologyToday.com, the print magazine, and a growing suite of social media platforms. PT seeks a creative individual with a strong editorial and visual skill set and particular interest/expertise in short-form video. The ideal candidate is comfortable working across all verticals, especially social media, to create value and help draw a new generation of readers to the brand.
About the Role
This is a rare opportunity to make an impact in multiple domains, including mental health, behavioral science, journalism, and online culture. The Assistant Editor will generate content across online, print, and social platforms and manage relationships with our large network of expert authors. The ideal candidate can assess content for both scientific rigor and optimized reach. Day-to-day responsibilities include handling contributor queries and onboarding, supporting planning and budget tracking, contributing to content packaging, and additional admin duties.
The role also has a meaningful social media dimension: The ideal candidate is comfortable moving between editorial judgment and hands-on production: identifying promising story ideas, shaping them for social, writing sharp captions and hooks, editing website copy, and producing video assets that feel native to each platform.
Requirements
What We're Looking For
Strong writing and editing fundamentals are essential, as is familiarity with audience-building. A background in translational science writing and clinical or research psychology is a big plus, but a fast learner with the right instincts is welcome to apply. In addition, the ideal candidate has strong online graphic and visual instincts, who is comfortable packaging art, images, and video. To Apply
Please submit a brief cover letter that characterizes the editorial content currently on the Psychology Today homepage (including any changes you'd suggest) and describes your relationship with social media, including any platforms, accounts, or projects you've built or contributed to. Please include links to social media assets you’ve created.
