While Inter’s release schedule is centred around quarterly releases, as a member of our media & outreach team your work will not necessarily follow the same pattern, allowing for a flexible schedule. We are looking for students passionate about marketing and communications from all study backgrounds who bring new, creative ideas to the table that will help us grow the reach of our magazine, podcast, as well as other online content. Your aim will be to help improve and evolve how we promote Inter through our social media channels and offline. Alongside social media promotion, the outreach team’s focus will be on creating a presence for Inter around the university campuses, as well as maintaining a coherent connection between the other teams and the editors.

Your tasks as a member of Inter’s media & outreach team will include:

     •   working on ideas to further grow Inter’s reach

     •   designing effective social media posts

     •   raising awareness around Inter on social media and the campuses

     •   maintaining an informative online presence of our releases

What we offer you:

     •   valuable connections across disciplines; contact and exchange with board members and journalists

     •   an opportunity to develop your marketing and communication skills, and to gain experience working for one of the UvA’s longest-running student magazines

     •   a modest compensation on a per-edition basis

Additionally, as a candidate, you:

     •   are an English speaker

     •   are well-organised and can meet deadlines reliably

     •   are based in or around Amsterdam and are available to take on this role for at least the remainder of the academic year

     •   are a passionate and creative professional

     •   are motivated to contribute

To apply for this position, send us your CV/resumé and a brief example of an experience you had with social media posts/channels. This can be any form of your existing experience or a project you have done during your studies. Candidates should be prepared to attend a short interview.

Inter is also home to a brand new podcast, the Intercast, which aims to make each of the magazine’s edition more interactive. Each episode touches upon the currently running theme, through interviews or reviews from the podcast team, but uses a novel angle to do so, especially relying on the different media format. We are looking for creative and outgoing people who want to become the faces and voices of the Intercast, and have the ideas and knowledge to bring it to life. While for now we aim to release at least one podcast episode per edition, we want to reach a more frequent release schedule in the future.

Your tasks as a member of Inter’s podcast team will include:

     •   coming up with creative ideas regarding each episode’s topic and its connection to the edition theme

     •   organising shooting days to record the content

     •   researching and getting in contact with people/entities to be involved in each podcast

     •   post-production editing of sound and video media

What we offer you:

     •   high creative freedom

     •   a stimulating experience of leading and seeing the results of your own project

     •   work with a motivated team of authors and illustrators

     •   access to the necessary recording equipment

     •   visibility for your ideas

     •   a modest compensation on a per-episode basis

Additionally, as a candidate, you:

     •   have a creative approach as well as multidisciplinary openness

     •   can commit to frequent releases (at least once per edition)

     •   are well-organised and can meet deadlines reliably

     •   have experience with audio and video editing

     •   possess interpersonal skills necessary for conducting interviews 

To apply for this position, send us your CV/resumé and a brief outline of an episode idea you would produce for Intercast, themed on our latest edition, Sails, justifying your choices. Candidates should be prepared to attend a short interview

While our articles make up the core of Inter, they would not be as attractive without their graphical counterparts. We are looking for talented visual contributors to create memorable illustrations which will further help breathe life into our articles. You will get to choose articles that you find most interesting to illustrate, and while you will consult with the writers on how to best convey their article’s main idea, ultimately you will have the creative freedom to let your ideas shine. 

We offer you the opportunity for:

     •   illustrating articles of your choice

     •   creating the main cover arts for our editions

     •   visibility for your ideas

To apply as an artist, send us your portfolio (or other relevant representation of your previous work).
