Remote Writer wanted (blogs, newsletters, web pages) | $50 per hour

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: RUTGERS UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION

Sean Downey, Editorial Director of Rutgers University Foundation, is looking for a writer:

Come work with me! Our team is hiring a part-time writer with experience writing blogs, email copy, and web pages.

One of the best parts about writing for Rutgers University Foundation is how many different topics you can cover. Student scholarships, innovations in technology, global warming studies, major gift announcements, and alumni memories are just some of the topics our writers covered this past month. If this sounds interesting to you, check out the job post below.

The role is currently remote. Down the road, there’s a chance that the writer may need to spend some time in the office too, but I don’t think it’s likely.
