Society in Science Seeks a 80-100% Employee for Global Communications

Thanks to a considerable increase in the endowment made possible by an additional gift of Branco Weiss, Society in Science will be able to accept as many as ten new fellows starting in 2011. We thus have to increase the number of qualified applicants considerably. The fellowship has mandated science communications GmbH with the task to increase its visibility significantly. Science communications is now seeking an employee for global communications who will exclusively work on the mandate for Society in Science.

Ideally we are looking for a native English speaker with a working knowledge of German, a degree in science or engineering and additional experience in communications. The successful applicant must be a skilful writer. He or she will manage the relationships to the fellows, to the directorate, to the president’s office at ETH and to a number of external partners including web designers, social media agencies, photographers, advertising agencies and journalists. Some book keeping and reporting skills are also required.

Science communications offers a pleasant working environment in the centre of Zurich and a small team with efficient processes. Further information is available under www.science-communications.ch
