- Do you enjoy keeping up to date with all the latest ME/CFS research literature?
- Are you someone who has the ability to explain scientific information in a clear and concise manner?
- Do you have around 2 hours a fortnight available to help Emerge Australia?
- If this sounds like you, then the Emerge Australia Research Digest needs you!
With over 1500+ Australian and international subscribers, the Research Digest aims to provide subscribers with a monthly update on recently published research and media outputs to do with ME/CFS, as well as the occasional manuscript callout and funding announcements.
The digest provides these updates in the form of short summarised (‘digested’) articles to allow readers to gain a quick glimpse of the main information contained within the journal article or media piece, along with a link to said article/piece.
“Digester” skills:
- Keen interest in learning about the latest ME/CFS scientific research studies and publications
- Scientific writing skills
- Ability to comprehend and filter out the main points of a research article
- Succinctly communicate complex scientific concepts in writing
- Excellent time management and organisational skills
- Capable of working independently or in a team setting
“Digester” responsibilities:
- Time commitment: approx. 2 hrs a fortnight
- Read 1-2 articles a week from our published research database
- Write and produce brief documents that explain the main points from the journal article or media pieces that have been read
We’re very happy to answer any questions!
