Job opening in Newton Centre
What the job is:
Communications Assistant,
State of Formation. Responsible for managing the online presence of State of
Formation and attracting new Contributing Scholars. Working closely with the Managing Editor, the
Communications Assistant will work on the following key tasks: Sending a “call for
contributors” to key individual and organizational partners; Managing the Facebook and
Twitter accounts, updating multiple times per week; Creating and distributing
the weekly State of Formation newsletter
Who they are:
Current discourse on
religion and ethics is primarily defined by established leaders – ministers,
rabbis, academics and journalists. There is an entire population of important
stakeholders without a platform: the up-and-comers. To remedy this, the Journal
of Inter-Religious Dialogue founded State of Formation. Run in partnership
with Hebrew College and Andover Newton Theological School and in collaboration
with the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions, it is a forum for
up-and-coming religious and ethical thinkers to draw upon the learning that is
occurring in their academic and community work and reflect on the pressing
questions of a religiously pluralistic society.
Where they are:
Circle (Center for
Inter-Religious & Communal Leadership Education) is run in affiliation with
Andover Newton Theological School and Hebrew College. Both are located in
Newton Centre, on the outskirts of the greater Boston-Cambridge area.
How I know of them:
I’ve read some of the
material in their Journal of Inter-Religious Dialogue, and received an
email as part of their mailing list. I’ve enjoyed the online publication, and
find it an ecumenically broad-minded, thoughtful resource. I think it would be
a really cool place to work!
Deadlines:
- Resume and cover letter by 02/15/14
- Candidate selected “would begin by shadowing current employees” 04/01/14
- The job itself would begin 06/01/14
