Current opportunities
The ECOP Programme is looking for volunteers to support our Communications Team!
Several people wanted: web developers with experience with WordPress, graphic designers, user experience checkers, – to review our ECOP Programme website and make it more appealing and user-friendly! Plus those looking for more experience in social media and science communications, who would like to assist in creative and engaging campaigns, or help with updates and sharing of information through our channels, are also encouraged to apply.
This position is not paid, but you will be able to use this case in your portfolio and we can promote your work with us on our social media and give you any recommendation letter.
Commitment: a few hours per week depending on the type of work (web development, graphic design, content creation or usability checking). Tasks will be given per week and you can do it at any time and at your own pace.
To apply: Please send an email, with your CV, to ecop.oceandecade@gmail.com with a list of 5 things that you would do to enhance our website: https://www.ecopdecade.org/ or any other areas of the ECOP Programme’s communication channels (that might fit your expertise/experience/interests). Any email that doesn’t fulfill this requirement, will be disregarded.
