Title: Freelance Writers and Editors

Division: Communications

Summary

As part of a continuous effort to increase and improve its pool of freelance writers and editors, the Editorial Services program of the Communications Division welcomes the résumés of highly qualified English-language writers and editors to collaborate on a variety of writing and editing projects related to IFPRI's research on international development issues (particularly in the fields of agricultural economics and nutrition). Writing projects include newsletter articles, briefs, brochures, and flyers. Editing projects include food policy reports, briefs, and discussion papers.

IFPRI disseminates its research to key audiences worldwide with a view to increasing its impact on food policies and the fight against hunger. The Institute's publications contain varying degrees of technical content. We are therefore interested in writers who are familiar with the areas IFPRI covers, who possess excellent writing skills in English, and who can occasionally work on a rush basis and at short notice. For more information on the types of publications IFPRI produces, please see http://ifpri.org/publications.

If interested, you may send your résumé and writing/editing samples to Gwendolyn Stansbury (g.stansbury@cgiar.org). Please note that if your qualifications meet our requirements, we will keep your information on file and will contact you if you are selected for a particular writing project. No replies will be sent until then.

IFPRI is one of the international agricultural research institutes organized under the umbrella of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The mandate of IFPRI is to identify and analyze alternative national and international strategies and policies for meeting world food needs in ways that conserve the natural resource base, with emphasis on low-income countries and on the poorer groups in those countries.
