ThreeThousand is looking for a new associate editor. Pat's done an amazing job, but the United States Department of Homeland Security rang us and said we had to send him back there for 'testing', or something. We'll miss him a lot. Thanks a lot, USDHS.

So, do you love Melbourne? Enough to see the beauty in the most unhygienic drinking environments? Enough to drive to West Melbourne at 6am because someone told us there's an electric train at the vegetable markets called the Tutti Frutti Express? Can you multi-task like a MacBook Pro and pull entertaining adjectives (ahem, similes) out of thin air?

If you answered 'yes' to the above, you could be the next ThreeThousand Associate Editor. Under the direction of the ThreeThousand Editor, your main role will be to assist in the delivery of high-quality editorial and ensure the smooth production of each issue of ThreeThousand. In doing so, you will be required to work two days a week from our office in Curtin House and support related events out of hours.

Now here is the serious part. Potential candidates must have:

- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Industry experience in copy-writing and editing
- Self motivation in spades
- Ideas, coupled with the ability to think laterally
- The fervor to embrace and grow the publication
- An individual voice (how else do we say this: a personality!)
- (Preferably) An involvement within the wider Melbourne creative community

The ThreeThousand Associate Editor's responsibilities include:

- Working closely with the editor to generate content
- Working collaboratively with contributors and internal staff at Right Angle Studio
- Writing on a range of topics each week, to a deadline
- Editing copy to a style sheet
- Managing and operating a CMS system
- Organising and supporting events and connecting ThreeThousand within the offline community
- Using software such as Photoshop
- Acting professionally, most of the time

We know you're out there...
