SMA Seeks Digital Communications Manager

The SMA is seeking a digital communications manager who will be responsible for preparing, editing, and distributing news to members of the SMA and beyond. This is an excellent opportunity for an advanced graduate student with broad knowledge of medical anthropology, strong writing and editorial skills, a sophisticated understanding of professional uses for digital media, and the ability to work independently.

Strong WordPress, Facebook and Twitter management skills are required. The preferred candidate will also be confident using Adobe InDesign and MailChimp, or similar tools for news layout and distribution. The SMA currently produces a quarterly PDF newsletter distributed by email, supplemented by social media. The new digital communications manager will continue to work with these existing outlets and help the SMA expand its digital presence.

We are offering a stipend of $2,000 for a 1-year position starting in November 2014. Applicants are invited to submit a cover letter detailing their experience and interest, along with a CV, to Mara Buchbinder, Communications Committee Co-Chair (mara.buchbinder@gmail.com), by September 15, 2014.
