We are looking for a new Editorial Intern to assist our Editorial Team. The ideal candidate will be in place by November 2020 and will commit to serving a two-year term. 

The role of the Intern is to: 

• Provide a final editorial check of proofed copy before publication, using the pre-developed checklist 
• Check and edit the item metadata on the EBLIP website to ensure title, author, and abstract correspond to the submitted manuscript 
• Assist the Editor-in-Chief and Communications Officer with calls for papers or calls for volunteers 
• Assist with investigation and implementation of new projects related to the journal 
• Participate in occasional Editorial Team meetings 

The ideal candidate will be an MLIS (or equivalent) student or a recent graduate (past two years) interested in evidence based practice and research methods, and who possesses strong attention to detail. The position requires dedicated time on a regular basis, and it is therefore essential that interested persons ensure available time to devote to this position prior to applying. It is estimated that the workload is approximately 10 hours per month. 

Interested persons should send a cover letter, indicating areas of strength they would bring to the role, and resume/cv as a single PDF file to Lorie Kloda, Editor-in-Chief, at eblipjournal@gmail.com by October 9, 2020.

Specific queries about the role should be addressed to the current Editorial Intern, Kimberly MacKenzie at kimberly.mackenzie@umassmed.edu.
