Log Editor Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Office of Alumni Publications is seeking a Temporary Assistant Editor for the Cornellians.
All applicants must provide a resume and cover letter for full consideration.
Cornellians is a digital publication that keeps readers up to date with Cornell life today; shares stories from the University's rich and compelling history; celebrates its diversity; and showcases the accomplishments of its graduates, faculty, and students. The publication leverages the digital environment through lively prose, imagery, and video, as well as other multimedia and interactive formats. Cornellians is produced by its editorial staff in partnership with the Division of Alumni Affairs and Development and with Cornell Brand Communications within the Division of University Relations.
The Temporary Assistant Editor will proofread, name-check, and fact-check every one of the 75+ columns for each bimonthly Class Notes section of Cornellians. If chosen for this role, you will work through columns on your own schedule, within a reasonable timeframe agreed on with the Senior Editor.
You must have a good understanding of grammar, gain familiarity with Cornellians' editorial style, and be a meticulous researcher. Names and facts must be verified using the alumni database, alumni-submitted news forms, and the Internet. The Temporary Assistant Editor will also notify the Senior Editor of any inaccuracies-in the columns or in the database-that come to light from their research.
This position is essential to maintaining the accuracy, credibility, and overall quality of Class Notes-which is consistently one of the most-read sections in Cornellians. Because Class Notes includes hundreds of alumni names and self-reported information, it is vital to ensure these details are verified as thoroughly as possible prior to publication. The primary responsibility is name-checking, proofreading, and fact verification for this section. You will help minimize errors, maintain consistency across sections, and uphold the publication's editorial standards and reputation with alumni readers.
This temporary position will have a hybrid work schedule with some days in the office and other days remote. The University reserves the right to approve remote work locations.
The pay range for this position is $23.00 - $25.00, depending on experience.
This position does not support visa sponsorship or relocation assistance.
