We’re hiring a developmental editor
Come work with our brilliant fellows this summer/fall!
The Roots of Progress Institute is looking for a gifted developmental editor! In particular, we are looking for someone who is passionate about helping 20-25 writers hone their writing skills to craft compelling essays about human progress during our summer/fall fellowship program.
Our Blog-Building Intensive Fellowship program, which runs between July and October every year, is part of the larger mission of The Roots of Progress Institute to establish a new philosophy of progress for the 21st century. Through this program, we are developing the intellectual talent and community needed to fulfill this mission.
Our fellows, selected from several hundred applicants, are super-smart, interesting, and thoughtful people writing on fascinating topics. As the developmental editor, you’ll work directly with our fellows, helping them to grow and improve their writing skills. You’ll help bring new blogs into the world and develop the careers of great writers, while helping to advance the progress movement. You’ll have the chance to participate in the fellowship program advisor sessions with some of the most interesting thinkers and builders in the progress space. You’ll also get to attend the invitation-only Progress Conference in October.
This role reports to Emma McAleavy, our Program and Community Operations Manager. It is a full-time but limited-term role (with the potential for ongoing part-time work) that is fully remote within the contiguous US or Canada.
