Job Requirements: The Director of the Career Center is a Board of Directors position, and, like all BOD positions, requires a commitment of at least 10 hours per week. All communication is via internet or phone, so no geographical constraints exist – the DCC 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: The Director of the Career Center must have demonstrated leadership experience and skills. These are essential, as the DCC must coordinate a staff of between 5 and 10 junior editors and writers. Continuous production of informative and timely material is all-important, and the DCC must be able to work in a deadline-driven environment. Ideally, the DCC should have previous experience running a publication. More importantly, the DCC should have a passion for the mission of the Science Career Center, be creative and professional, and be dedicated to advancing the journal.
