The Role

We’re looking for a motivated, enthusiastic copy editor to join our friendly, global team. Your experience will include structural editing as well as proofreading. Experience with web content and SEO will be highly regarded. In this volunteer role you'll be primarily editing articles written for our online blog. These are aimed at a general audience, but written by academic researchers, so it is important to be able to understand the more technical language a researcher might use and be able to “translate” it into something a layman can understand.

You should have excellent communications skills, be able to work independently as well as take part in group initiatives. You should have your own computer and fast internet and be able to work from home. Your input will be acknowledged and recognized for worthwhile inclusion in your resume.

In this volunteer role, you will be able to expand your network of contacts to include senior officials worldwide as you work through selected projects.
