FAIC is seeking a moderator to approve posts, enforce list guidelines, and craft a weekly digest for distribution to more than 10,000 subscribers. The Conservation DistList (ConsDistList) is a mailing list with an international audience, and features posts about treatments, research, job and internship openings, educational opportunities, conferences, and more.
The moderator will review each post for appropriateness, succinctness, and clarity, sending back to the authors for revision as needed. While the digest currently is automatically sent out, discussions are leading to a new method that may require more hand-editing. The moderator will also approve new subscribers, handle member requests, and work with the site administrator on directory updates. Moderator should have a basic knowledge of the conservation and preservation field to ensure posts are on-topic, should have very good editing skills, and should be comfortable with technology, but knowledge of Mailman or HTML is not necessary. Moderator should also be a self-starter and able to manage the list on their own, though technical and editorial support will be available. The stipend will be $20 per hour, with an expected workload of 4-7 hours per week, not to exceed $7,500 annually. Contact Bonnie Naugle at [email protected] with your letter of interest. Please include contact information, a brief summary of your background, and note why you are interested in this role. Note: We thank Matt for his help updating and temporarily moderating the ConsDistList! He will still be working behind the scenes to update our infrastructure, and serving as FAIC’s Digital Strategies Advocate. ****** Unsubscribe by sending a message to [email protected] Archives through August 2016 at http://cool.conservation-us.org/byform/mailing-lists/cdl/ Archives from September 2016 onward at https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
