HELP WANTED

FULL TIME AND PART TIME POSITIONS AVAILABLE

World history is at a turning point.   We are on a path that cannot continue.   The pace of change is speeding up.  Environmental problems are growing at a far faster pace than predicted.   Meanwhile, the current world order is compounding its problems by the creation of larger and larger amounts of financial debts to paper over problems.

We are  looking for a few creative people who can be prophetic voices.  We need to document the scale of problems and set forth solutions.  We also study history and philosophy to place current events in perspective.

We have found that it is often useful to hire people on a consultant basis before moving to a full-time position during the decades we have been in business (we have been in business since 1995).  Whether a certain position should or should not be full time depends on the specific needs and abilities of the person.   In many cases you would be able to do most of your work from home, and would not have to sit  for long periods of time  in Washington D.C.'s ever growing traffic mess.  

If you know of somebody else who might be interested in our positions, please call this web site to their attention.

Volunteer positions are also available.  See our page.

Instructions on how to apply for a position with us are at the bottom of this page.  Please follow these instructions and pay attention to the qualifications listed for each position.   Here are the key positions that are open:

Remote work available. You do not need to come to the office on a regular basis. We'd prefer a local DC person so that they can do political networking, but it is not necessary. We are happy to work with people from around the world.

A NOTE CONCERNING FOREIGN LANGUAGE SKILLS.   Overseas applications are welcome.   

Foreign language skills are a plus, but not mandatory. We are interested in people who speak fluent German, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, and Spanish.  Please note that the term "fluent" means that you must be totally fluent in speaking, reading and writing.  We are very interested in native speakers.  Green card holders and foreign citizens are most welcome to apply for all positions.

WRITER AND POLITICAL ADVOCATE POSITION

We are always looking for creative people who could contribute to our web site. 

Writers could be full-time or part-time. Remote work available. We're willing to work with people from anywhere.

See the position for more information.

Send your resume and a writing sample to us if you are interested.

Contact information: helpwanted@worldfuturefund.net

PART-TIME WRITERS NEEDED

We are also looking for part time writers. While our preference is the Washington D.C. area, we are willing to hire writers from anywhere.

Foreign language skills are also a plus. Ideally, we'd like someone who speaks either German, Chinese, Spanish, Russian, or Arabic. If you have lived overseas or if you are from overseas, this is a plus.

Media, art and popular culture are relevant to us as means of communication. (We have a program on this.) Thus we are also interested in creative, artistic, and musical people.

THE STUDY OF HISTORY

It is our belief that history matters.  We combine a highly professional study of the present with a study of the past, including the ancient past.  For example, we believe that the study of democracy's strengths and weaknesses in ancient Greece and Rome has huge lessons for our democracies today.  We already have a brief page on the ancient Greek and Roman influences on the U.S. Constitution.  A study of the deep ancient roots of totalitarianism is also relevant as a warning about what could happen in the future. 

We want to produce some studies on the reasons for the suicide and ultimate failure of democracy in ancient Greece and Rome and the lessons we need to learn from all this.

THE STUDY OF WORLD POLITICAL PHILOSOPHIES AND RELIGIONS

We believe that the study of political philosophy and religion on a global basis is critical to developing a global vision of a political future.  As Al Gore states in his excellent film, "An Inconvenient Truth", the global environment crisis is more than a crisis of technological and policy challenges, it is a moral crisis.  An understanding of different religions and political visions is critical to building a global consensus for positive change.  Modern America could be in a position similar to that of ancient Greece when it became a world power as a result of the conquests of Alexander the Great.  Its political institutions needed to evolve to be more respectful of non-Greek cultures.  It had to make the evolution from the polis to the cosmopolis.

You need to be able to have good research skills and the ability to write in a manner that can explain complex issues to leaders and ordinary people.  Ideally, you would have good people skills to help us relate to other organizations.

Students are welcome.  Foreign language speakers and immigrants are particularly welcome. 

CREATIVE SOCIAL MEDIA AND MARKETING SPECIALIST

We want somebody who understands how to do marketing on Facebook and Twitter. 

This is a part-time position. Remote work is available.

See the position for more information.

Send your resume and a writing sample to us if you are interested.
