About this Opportunity

NEPC’s celebrated Primate Species Profiles series features more than four hundred primate species, with an objective to profile all 539. Each month, our global writing team introduces new species to the series while also rewriting profiles that are 5 to 6 years old to include the latest news, census data, ecological impacts, species classifications, and behavioral discoveries.

Depending on various factors, our team of content contributors completes 10 to 14 profiles per month. The fact-checking process will be a shared responsibility. Although the time required may decrease with experience, we estimate approximately 10 hours per month for this task.

Accuracy is paramount. These profiles are utilized by students and educators from elementary school through university levels, as well as beyond, for projects, reports, and curriculum planning. They are frequently cited across various platforms, including online sources, social media, print publications, nature magazines, television programming, children's publications, authors, blogs, national news agencies, science museums, and conservation groups

If you possess extensive knowledge about a wide range of primate genera, I would like to discuss this opportunity with you. With additional fact-checkers, we can engage more writers and provide enhanced resources to the 7.5 million readers who rely on NEPC for comprehensive information about our nonhuman primate counterparts. Please note, we are seeking individuals who already have the requisite knowledge for effective and efficient fact-checking, not those looking to learn more.

Must be over 25. Must have impeccable command of the English language.
