As one of our team members, the great Martina Laganà, has left for an intensive fieldwork, we are looking for a new Communication Officer to join the AgeNet working Team. This is not a renumerated position but it offers an opportunity to work closely with like-minded colleagues to actively shape the rhythm, vibe and agenda of the European anthropology of ageing, generations, life-course and care.
The role of the AgeNet Comms typically involves:
- updating AgeNet (WordPress) website and Facebook account (recent calls, publications, upcoming events : ongoing, on average 1 hour per week)
- updating the AgeNet members repository (once a year, circa 10 hrs in total)
- liaising with AgeNet Convenors to prepare and circulate content relevant to AgeNet
- occassionally communicating with EASA/NomadIT web& communication team to spread AgeNet news more broadly (to all EASA members and broader audiences)
Depending on the time the Comms has on their disposal, they could also take the lead in further re-imagining the online space through which anthros of ageing could exchange ideas and collegial support.
- No previous experience with web-editing or social media coordination is necessary! The new Comms will be introduced to the job by the previous Communication teams – so a great opportunity to learn on the job.
- The Comms will start working at their earliest convenience (the sooner, the better) and their mandate will expire (and can be renewed) in July 2026.
For any questions, please contact AgeNet convenors.
Apply by 2 February 2026 by sending the email to: ageneteasa@gmail.com – just a short email expressing your interest will do – we will take it from there!
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Francesco, L’ubica and Christine (AgeNet Convenors)
