Do I need where or in which here?

1. As his assistant, I became a member of "the Dentist's Research Organization" where I wrote articles about dentistry.

2. As his assistant, I became a member of "the Dentist's Research Organization" in which I wrote articles about dentistry.

I want to say after I became a member of that association and I was working there, I wrote articles.

Yes.

1. As his assistant, I became a member of [STRIKE]"[/STRIKE]the Dentist's Research Organization[STRIKE]"[/STRIKE], where I wrote articles about dentistry.

2. As his assistant, I became a member of [STRIKE]"[/STRIKE]the Dentist's Research Organization[STRIKE]"[/STRIKE], in which I wrote articles about dentistry.

I want to say after I became a member of that association and I was working there, I wrote articles.

You might get different opinions here, but I'd use where.

(The most precise phrasing would be for which, but that sounds too clunky.)

alpacinoutd, I was just about to say that we shouldn't have to be supplying your missing punctuation marks.

Use where. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!

For me, they're both wrong.

1. where is wrong because the Dentist's Research Organization is not really a place, even if that's how you consider it.

2. in which is wrong, for reasons I won't attempt to explain.

The suggestion of for which is also wrong because you didn't write the articles 'for' them (I don't think)—you just wrote them while you were a member there. And if the only connection between the DRO and your writing articles is that they were concurrent, then you can link the sentence using a 'time' word, like when or during which or after which, depending on how you phrase the sentence.

However, I'm not convinced you actually mean that. I think you mean to say something to the effect that you were writing as a representative of that organization. If that is the case, you could use under whose _____ or on behalf of whom.

Have I understood correctly? Or do you really mean to think of the DRO as a place where you did something?

How about "...DRO, which provided me the opportunity to write articles..."?

Do I need "where" or "in which" here? :tick:

1. As his assistant, I became a member of "the Dentist's Research Organization", :cross: where I wrote articles about dentistry.

2. As his assistant, I became a member of "the Dentist's Research Organization", :cross: in which I wrote articles about dentistry.

You fixed the missing quotation marks. The ones around the Dentist's Research Organization are incorrect. Sorry I didn't notice that before.

It does the job for me too.
