Strange Horizons is looking for a new webmaster to handle the Strange Horizons website. Strange Horizons runs on WordPress. While the website is more or less self-running, from time to time - as with any website - problems and issues arise. As the Webmaster, thus, the following skills will be desirable:
  • PHP and MySQL, with an understanding of WordPress
  • WordPress theme design (HTML/CSS, but with a specific focus on WordPress)
  • An ability to troubleshoot and wrangle a mixture of technical and non-technical requests
This role is ideal for someone with a Computer Science and engineering background, who has the time to dedicate to aiding Strange Horizons. As the Webmaster, you will work closely with the management team, including the co-ordinating editor (Gautam) and administrative editor (Romie), as well as be in touch with the various editorial departments.The time commitment is flexible, as it depends on as and when bugs arise, but we do not anticipate it to go beyond 1-2 hours a week, on an average. You will be assisted with onboarding by our present webmaster, Will Elwood.
