Blog for Passport; work at FP this summer

Is anyone out there interested in writing posts for Passport this summer, along with being involved in the production of FP‘s award-winning magazine and Web site?

If so, you have until this Friday, Feb. 20, to apply to be an FP editorial researcher for the summer (May/June to August/September). As a researcher, your primary tasks will be:

• Writing for ForeignPolicy.com — for example, creating our weekly Lists.
• Facting-checking articles for the Web site and our print magazine
• Blogging regularly for Passport, winner of a “Best of the Web” award last year 

We’re looking for enthusiastic people who have course work or job experience in international relations, comparative politics, journalism, history, or economics. Outstanding research and writing skills are a must. You must be willing to work at least 35 hours per week, unpaid, in our office in Washington.

Please read complete details about the position here.

Please submit a cover letter, a résumé, writing samples, and a letter of recommendation* by Friday to me at Researcher [at] ForeignPolicy [dot] com. You can also use the fax number and postal address listed at the link above.

The FP editors look forward to hearing from you! 

(*Yes, the letter can be submitted separately by your recommender. Yes, it’s OK if it arrives a few days later than the rest of your application. If you can’t get a letter on short notice, please instead provide the contact information for a reference.)
