Our mission is to be a unifying influence for the physical-sciences community without regard to disciplinary boundaries.

We help readers maintain a broad scientific perspective and keep up to date in fields of physics other than their own.

Help expand portfolio of online offerings.

Excellent command of English, both oral and written.
Demonstrable talent for writing and for explaining complex topics to a broad audience of scientists.
Knowledge of physics-related research in several subfields.
Ability to work well with others, both inside and outside the organization.
Ability to multitask, handle multiple assignments and priorities, and meet deadlines.
Why join us:
AIP embraces a flexible hybrid work environment to balance in-person collaborative work with remote work. The Physics Today team works primarily remotely, with in-office collaboration at our offices in College Park, Maryland. Employees are required to reside in Maryland, Virginia, or Washington, DC.
We offer comprehensive benefits, including generous paid time off, medical/dental/vision coverage, an annual retirement contribution of 10% of base pay, tuition assistance, commuter benefits, and more.
Your colleagues at AIP are welcoming, gracious, and eager to help each other succeed. With our commitment to community service, institute-wide social opportunities, and ongoing learning and development, AIP is a rewarding place to work.
