Company Description TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. On TED.com, we're building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers — and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at TED and TEDx events around the world, all year long.
The Role We're looking for recent college graduates who are media savvy, committed to fighting misinformation, can articulate well-formed editorial/programming opinions, and complete meticulous technical tasks. Your primary mission will be to evaluate, optimize, and publish science, health, and technology-oriented talks put forward by the TEDx community. This requires a scrupulous and discerning eye. This also requires a methodical and highly organized approach to work. Globally, the TEDx initiative produces 500+ talks every week; we need smart people to watch each one to ensure it falls within established guidelines, as well as identify the best and most urgent ideas to share with a wider public.
Job Requirements Completed bachelor's degree. You must be able to work 5 full days (40 hrs) per week, 10-6pm EST. You will need a stable WiFi connection given that this internship will be remote work from home. You should be well-versed in the YouTube Creator Studio and very familiar working in Google Drive in spreadsheets and documents. You should have an interest and experience in a broad range of scientific subjects. You should have a research background in your field of expertise and feel comfortable reviewing peer-reviewed scientific literature across disciplines. You must be detail-oriented and perceptive when completing tasks, and you must be able to work independently and efficiently. You should possess a strong understanding of ethical reporting standards and practices--and be able to identify factual errors and logical flaws in examining sources. You should possess excellent writing skills and be able to pass a short writing test. You must be fluent in English.
Benefits Compensation: $22/hr.
