Excellent writing and editing skills are required, including the ability to convey complex engineering ideas, concepts and methods to a more general readership. The desired candidate must be deadline-oriented and possess the flexibility to perform successfully in both unsupervised and collaborative contexts. The desired candidate also must be proficient with Adobe InDesign or equivalent desktop publishing software. Proficiency with Adobe Photoshop and other applications in the Adobe Creative Suite is preferred. A primary responsibility of the position entails writing, editing and designing the department’s newsletter, published twice per year. The newsletter is a key tool for enhancing the department’s national profile. In this capacity and in consultation with the department chair, the editor will: 1) solicit and gather newsworthy information from faculty and student groups; 2) develop and write a feature article focusing on one faculty member’s research; 3) assemble articles, photos and graphics into the newsletter space; and 4) coordinate printing with an outside professional printing company under a budget constraint. Candidates are encouraged to visit http://cee.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/newsletters.php to view electronic versions of recent newsletters. The editor will coordinate with and promote newsletter material and other newsworthy items (as they arise) to the engineering school’s External Affairs office in an effort to secure coverage in UCLA Engineer magazine, the dean’s monthly e-bulletin, and a variety of publications and media outlets both within and outside the UCLA community. The editor will work with staff and faculty in updating the department brochure and other official communications output, as well as collaborate with the webmaster in continually updating and upgrading the department web site.
