Career Research Editor
Career Research Editors are responsible for training, managing, and maintaining communications with Career Researchers. A Career Research Editor provides advice and guidance to the Career Researchers as they write their articles, coordinates the article review process, and edits articles before they are sent to the Director of the Career Center (DCC) for final approval.
Job Requirements: The Career Research Editor position, like most JYI staff positions, requires an average commitment of at least 5 hours per week. All communication is via internet or phone, so no geographical constraints exist – Career Research Editors may live anywhere in the world. All JYI staff are expected to check their email daily and respond promptly if necessary.
Preferred Skills or Experience: Career Research Editors must have previous experience writing news articles and/or feature articles for general interest publications. Good organization and time management skills are also required. Career Research Editors must accommodate many emails, requests, and articles in various states of review all at once. Deadlines must be met to ensure that the publishing process is not slowed. As a Career Research Editor, good motivational skills are beneficial for not only training new Career Researchers, but also for leading the SCC staff through good example. Finally, Career Research Editors work directly with Professional Reviewers, so a sense of professionalism is expected.
