This role is open to master’s/postgraduate and undergraduate students, and those currently in a break from study who seek to return to study in the near future.
As an Associate Editor in our Students Team you will help us select, and publish, the best submissions that we receive from students around the world. The role is designed as one that will allow you to practice and develop editorial skills while working within a small, friendly, team of other students from around the world. We are looking for volunteers with strong English language skills, good attention to detail, and an understanding of academic essay writing. You should be a self-starter and highly organised. Most importantly, you should find the prospect of volunteering some time each week (around 5 hours) reading the work of your peers exciting – as it will form the bulk of your role.
Volunteering with E-International Relations is not your typical ‘work experience’. First, we coordinate our activities remotely using Slack. So, you do not need to physically attend a place of work to volunteer with us. Second, we have no paid staff, we are all volunteers. We volunteer some of our spare time because we want to have a hand in maintaining the best online resource for students and scholars of international politics. Finally, we empower our editors to learn skills, manage their own time and develop their own projects. The result is that the more volunteers give of themselves, the more they take away from the experience. It is no surprise that many of our editors have built on their experience with us to go on to senior positions in the publishing industry, politics at all levels, and academia.
What do you get out of it?
► To apply, send us an email titled ‘Students Editor’ to recruitment.e.ir@gmail.com. Within that email, in less than 500 words, please tell us why you feel you are suitable for this role and where you study/have studied and attach one academic essay that represents your best work.
Applications for this role close on 25 February. We will respond to anyone who catches our eye soon thereafter. Unfortunately, we can only respond to applicants who we shortlist.
