Cipher

Cipher will be hiring in spring 2025! Follow our Instagram to stay updated for job openings.

Editor

Editors are the core of Cipher. As an editor, you’ll generally work with 1-2 writers per issue through the process of brainstorming, researching, drafting, and polishing a Cipher article. Sometimes your writer will have a full draft, sometimes they’ll have a fraction of an idea. Your essential goal as an editor is to improve another person’s writing, no matter what stage it is at. We view editing as a collaborative process in which the editor helps the writer develop their vision, direction, voice, style, etc.

Social Media Manager

As a Social Media manager, you'll be responsible for posting on Instagram about calls for submissions, events, and releases of each issue. You'll create flyers and post calls for submissions on the CC Communications page.

Web Editor

The Web Editor is responsible for the maintenance and improvement of the Cipher website. This entails uploading each new issue onto the website as well as making corrections and adding new pages as needed. A small amount of inDesign work will be required, but no experience is needed. You also must attend weekly staff meetings.

The Layout Editor is responsible for the aesthetic design of our issue. Its your job to make Cipher look its best! You are expected to attend weekly meetings, as well as work during pub weekends (first weekend of each block). InDesign experience highly encouraged.
