We have a new opening for one volunteer position: Editor-in-Chief. See below for application details. Please note: all staff positions are volunteer and are thus unpaid. All positions are also virtual/remote.

Editor-in-Chief (Posted 8/23, applications due September 30)
The Editor-in-Chief will begin work with VC in October/November following the publication of Issue 64. This is meant to be a long-term position, so please plan on committing for at least one year, if not longer.
