Your Role:
You will be assisting Yogi, a professor at Erasmus University Rotterdam on myriad tasks. These will include billing, emails, accounting, conference organizing, being the point person for the Feral Ecologies Lab, coordination, website updating, setting up and feeding a listserv, support in applying for grants, setting up new projects, coordinating musical projects, science communication, contacting festivals, helping with various companies, editing, task management, and other related activities as seen fit.
This job is for someone serious and committed to deep ecological, social, and personal transformation. Someone who wants to learn as they work, to expand their capacities, unlearn helplessness of every kind, and experiment with metaphysics and ways of living.
You will also be working with Yogi’s partner to help coordinate and complete these tasks, and meeting in our home (where our 7-year-old also lives), as well as online.
Instead of waiting around for work, you will compile a short-term and long-term list of tasks, help prioritize them, be available for spontaneous needs coming up, and have the superpower of anticipation.
It’s a plus if you have experience as an executive assistant, research assistant, archivist, HR, or otherwise are able to think and act on behalf of a larger organization, coordinating for the greater good.
