Dear friends and colleagues,
<br>
<br>
<br>Please find below a call for applications - feel free to pass it on to
<br>anyone you think might be interested.
<br>
<br>
<br>With best wishes,
<br>
<br>Endre (on behalf of the Mattering Press team)
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Come and join Mattering Press as an intern!
<br>
<br>
<br>Mattering Press (https://www.matteringpress.org/) is a scholar-led Open
<br>Access (OA) publisher with a strong focus on empirically grounded works
<br>in Science and Technology Studies (STS). Our advisory board consists of
<br>leading figures both in OA and STS, and our books have been authored by
<br>outstanding STS scholars at various stages of their academic career.
<br>
<br>The Press is becoming a central forum in STS as well as a leading member
<br>of the ScholarLed consortium (https://scholarled.org/) of OA
<br>academic-led book publishers. To continue to live up to both our and our
<br>readers’ expectations (which are high), we are looking for an intern,
<br>who could help us with the everyday running of the press and contribute
<br>towards developing our digital strategy. More specifically, we are
<br>looking for someone who could help us maintain our website, strengthen
<br>our presence on various social media platforms, and manage manuscripts.
<br>
<br>In the first instance, this paid internship would run for six months,
<br>which would give you enough time to familiarise yourself with the Press
<br>and the ins and outs of Open Access book publishing. This is a part time
<br>position, working remotely, and with flexible hours. There is the
<br>expectation of working an average of half a day a week, for a total
<br>payment of £1500. You would be working closely with us, the Mattering
<br>Press team, and liaising with other presses, journals and publishing
<br>communities. In order to perform these tasks well, you should have a
<br>strong interest in STS and/or Open Access publishing, have a keen sense
<br>of how to engage in interesting and relevant ways with diverse
<br>stakeholders on social media (e.g. for Twitter, Facebook, Instagram),
<br>and feel comfortable working in a diverse group of scholars.
<br>
<br>If you’re interested, please send us a CV and a covering note (no more
<br>than 500 words) outlining (1) why you would like to join the press as an
<br>intern and (2) a short proposal for a social media campaign oriented
<br>around the press and its books. Please send this to
<br>info@matteringpress.org by the end of April 2019.
