The FJN has a remote opportunity for an editorial person with an interest in the science of consciousness, spirituality and other natural phenomena – plus the media’s coverage of such topics. We anticipate 8-12 hours of work per month at a rate of 30 GBP/hour; hours of work are flexible.
We are an international group of editorial people – writers, editorial, broadcasters, podcasters, book authors, and communicators – working to make it easier for journalists to cover these once-fringe topics that are increasingly penetrating mainstream coverage. We need help scouting potential stories, and creating and editing content for our newsletter and website (frontiernet.org).
The FJN is a working group of a larger educational charity, so this is a “paid volunteer” position not an employment contract; it’s ideal for a freelancer.
The editorial admin will be a valuable asset to the organisation by:
- Handling basic communications among the steering group members, such as setting up calendar invites for meetings and checking on progress of action points.
- Reviewing news sources for research developments and media coverage on our topics.
- In collaboration with the steering group, writing items for the email newsletter, then drafting and sending it.
- Streamlining the email subscriber list.
- Social media support.
Desired skills
- Solid writing and editing.
- Interest in the science of consciousness, spirituality and other phenomena (Near-Death Experiences, meditation, UAPs, all things psi), and media coverage of these topics.
- Good interpersonal communication skills, including an excellent command of the English language.
- Experience with MailChimp and WordPress.
- Comfortable with social media.
