The BPG Publications Committee is seeking a new volunteer Paper Coordinator for the Book and Paper Group Wiki, with the duties of the position to be assumed May 2023 following a shadowing period.
The Paper Coordinator works closely with the Book Coordinator to oversee wiki revisions, keep BPG members informed of the wiki's progress, recruit contributors, and assist anyone that comes forward with research and expertise they want to share. Previous experience with wiki editing is helpful but not required to be successful in this position. This is an opportunity to become better acquainted with other active BPG members and is a fairly flexible time commitment.
The new coordinator's term will run from May 2023 to May 2026. This term is renewable and flexible as needed. The shadowing period would ideally begin in early 2023.
This volunteer position may be eligible for travel funding for BPG volunteers who are required to attend the Annual Meeting and do not receive travel funding from their employers.
If you are interested, please submit a resume and a letter of interest to bookandpapergroup.wiki@gmail.com by Friday December 9, 2022.
