Call for Social Media Editor

Open Quaternary is enthusiastic to maintain and develop further our social media platforms, to maximise the impact of our published content as well as build a community around the journal. We aim to foster debate and share news, becoming a central online space for information sharing within the Quaternary sciences.

The role of Social Media Editor will involve working with the Editors-in-Chief of Open Quaternary, as well as the publisher, Ubiquity Press, to create and implement an online social media strategy. The aims of the role will be to increase interest in publications within the journal, post journal news, provide general information around the subject area, and increase the followers of the social media accounts. The role includes the management of blog post submissions to Open Quaternary Discussions.

Applicants will be considered from all career stages, however, this may be particularly suited to an early career researcher.

Applicants must have a good working knowledge of Twitter, Facebook and preferably also WordPress and Telegram. Knowledge of other social media may also be an advantage.

It is expected that the role should take up to approximately 1-2 hours per week, either through daily social media interaction or weekly scheduling of posts. The role is shared with one of the current, experienced Social Media Editors. The successful applicant will be fully recognized as a member of the editorial team, have creative input into journal development, and will benefit from increased interaction with their subject area and colleagues in Quaternary science. Like other editorial board and the editor in chief positions, there is no salary attached to the role.

Application

Applications should be submitted no later than Monday 28th October 2024. We aim to have the person appointed by mid-January.

To apply, please send in a CV and short cover letter detailing your experience using social media and how it may be relevant for this role to [email protected] or complete the online application form.

Feel free to contact us should you wish to discuss the role prior to completing the application.
