YOUR ROLE

Editors and project managers have special decision rights and responsibilities for managing the magazine. Together they make up the editorial board, which is the control centre of E&M. The board decides on all important developments from the content of the magazine to partnerships. If your application is successful you will join the editorial board and take the lead in exciting areas like:

• Creating the content of the magazine (e.g. editing a section of the magazine, from commissioning articles and editing submissions to uploading the finished content onto our web platform)
• Organising the magazine (e.g. running editorial Skype conferences and meetings)
• Forging partnerships and networks (e.g. communication and negotiations with partners, participation in meetings and conferences)
• Overseeing funding and spending with regard to the magazine and related projects (e.g. writing funding applications)
• Planning and running workshops, conferences, training sessions and other activities (from designing concepts to managing the final events)
• Raising the international profile of E&M (e.g. writing press releases or managing our Facebook and Twitter accounts)

The combination of tasks depends on your personal interests and strengths – you can combine some editing work with some project management work, or focus completely on project management, or devote yourself to improving our website.

We are seeking people with genuine commitment. Your personal work load will depend on your specific tasks, the current status of projects, and your current capacity to devote time to the project.

REQUIREMENTS

Are you getting excited? Okay, here are our requirements. Applicants must be...

• Proficient in English (preferably English on the level C1 of the European reference frame, which is equivalent to iB-TOEFL 100 points or IELTS 6.5 points)
• Interested in Europe: we understand Europe as a state of mind (and not as another term for the EU) and are looking for your creative, critical, inventive stories
• Reliable and responsible: E&M is an entirely volunteer-driven project, so we need people who share our enthusiasm and know how to stick to deadlines
• Team players: what makes E&M special is a great team of young people that you can rely on for inspiration, feedback and fun transnational meetings
