Now Hiring

We're looking for more adjunct/associate professors to help us create new episodes. If you're a current/former professor or lecturer at an American university, we'd love to talk to you.



Job Description

As one of the hosts of Journal Club, your job will be pretty simple: Find new research papers, write about them, and then record yourself talking about them. We each work asynchronously, from wherever, fully remote. We chat on Slack about the episodes we're working on, and we have "Writer's Rooms" calls a few days a week to bounce ideas off each other. Every episode goes through structured phases, (outline, rough draft, etc) but you set your own pace.

Requirements
  • You're a current or former adjunct professor at an American university. Your institution may have called that an "associate professor" or "lecturer" or something similar.
  • Your expertise has some overlap with the topics we want to cover.
  • You're comfortable on a mic, and on camera.
  • You're available a minimum of 10 hours per week.
Compensation

Every host earns the same thing: $500 USD per episode. W9/1099 contract. Once you're up and running, you should be able to complete one episode from beginning to end in about a day. (Malcolm can do it in 4-6 hours, but he's over a hundred episodes in. You'll probably take 8-12 hours per episode in the beginning, and you'll get faster over time). We're looking for people who want to take on two episodes per week on average.

Application Process
  • Send your resume/CV to [email protected] and introduce yourself.
  • A few back and forths via email
  • One intro call with Malcolm (1 hour)
  • A paid sample project (one episode paid up front), to see how we like working together.
  • If that goes well, you're part of the team, and can start creating new episodes anytime. Every episode you make will be paid up front before you start working on it.
