About Lawfare Institute

Lawfare is a non-profit multimedia publication dedicated to “Hard National Security Choices.” We provide non-partisan, timely analysis of thorny legal and policy issues through our written, audio, and other content—all of which you can find free of charge at our website, www.lawfaremedia.org. We strive to achieve academic-level depth with magazine-level readability at the pace of news. We aim to improve the discourse on the law and policy of national security with a relentless focus on substantive issues that matter—in a fashion that is useful to policymakers and practitioners, but also accessible to anyone who wants to access it. Our areas of coverage range from national security law, threats to democracy, cybersecurity, executive powers, content moderation, domestic extremism, and foreign policy, among many others.

About the role

We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for associate editor at Lawfare. If you've ever listened to our podcasts or read our articles and thought, "I want to be part of that team," now is your chance.

This is a highly demanding job. The associate editor plays a pivotal role in the editorial process, ensuring that articles, documents, podcasts and everything else we produce are up to Lawfare's editorial standards. The associate editor also assists with long-term research projects carried out by members of the Lawfare team, works closely with Lawfare's network of experts, and has opportunities to write articles and host podcasts.

Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience within a range of $48,800 - $60,000. Benefits include health and dental care (with premiums fully paid by Lawfare), flexible hours, and participation in Lawfare’s 401(k) plan with up to 4% employer match.

What you'll do

The associate editor works at the direction of the managing editor to perform or assist with significant aspects of Lawfare's work, including:

Reviewing submissions for possible publication on the Lawfare website;
Soliciting submissions from contributors based on current developments and perceived gaps in Lawfare's coverage;
Processing accepted submissions to prepare them for publication;
Working with our podcast team to develop new audio content and daily podcasts;
Contributing to long- and short-term research projects at the direction of the senior editorial staff;
Ensuring final copyediting and posting of publications to the website;
Assisting the managing editor in setting and maintaining the Lawfare publication schedule;
Contributing as needed to Lawfare podcasts and articles on topics of particular expertise or need;
Managing the website, including rotating highlighted pieces, posting relevant documents and livestreams, and controlling quality, in coordination with the web hosting team;
Scheduling and other administrative responsibilities;
Assisting with fundraising and donor-required documentation, as needed;
Managing and hiring Lawfare interns;
Completing other duties as assigned by Lawfare management.

Qualifications

This role is an entry-level position, well-suited for recent college graduates or those with a year or two of work experience. Candidates will have a bachelor's degree, preferably in a field related to political science, government, journalism, or history. Outstanding writing, analytical, and research skills are required, as is an interest in national security issues. Candidates must be able to work effectively with minimal supervision, have excellent interpersonal, verbal, and organizational skills, and have the ability to take initiative and work in a fast-paced environment. Previous experience in editing, journalism, the legal industry, or digital media is a plus.

Lawfare is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

a brief writing sample of no more than 1500 words;
