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.

Despite the barriers between different cetacean languages, our song crosses the vastness of the oceans, traveling in sync with the currents and even traversing great expanses of land. Our singing conveys the concept of “hope,” which is how we define the wait until our home feels safe again.
When you falter, recall that age is not your master
Do you swallow big blue whale eyes straight out of the jar?
When Le Guin talks about genre writers as “the realists of a larger reality” we surrender the power of that when we narrow our work to only depict one type of future. We have great power to restore alternate narratives, to re-broaden the range of imaginable futures.
