ON EAST is currently accepting applications for the roles of Co-Chair (2), and Creative Director (1).

Chair (2)

The Co-Chairs of the ON EAST journal and conference are responsible for publishing the journal and organizing the annual conference. They are assisted by the EASSU team when required. The Chairs work together during the process. Some tasks of the Chairs include: recruiting undergraduate editors, accepting paper submissions, finding graduate student and faculty editors, organizing the conference, and dealing with publication matters.

Creative Director (1)

The Creative Director is responsible for all design and formatting work required by the Chairs. The main responsibility of the Creative Director is to format the journal at the end of the year so that it may be published. This position therefore requires some previous experience with and access to publishing software. The Creative Director is also responsible for upkeep of the ON EAST website.
