Fellowship

Media Organization: Atlas Obscura

Company Description

Atlas Obscura is the definitive guide to the world's wondrous and curious places. In an age where everything seems to have been explored and there is nothing new to be found, we celebrate a different way of looking at the world. If you're searching for miniature cities, glass flowers, books bound in human skin, gigantic flaming holes in the ground, bone churches, balancing pagodas, or homes built entirely out of paper, Atlas Obscura is where you'll find them.

Atlas Obscura is a collaborative project. We depend on our far-flung community of explorers (like you!) to help us discover amazing, hidden spots, and share them with the world.

Job Description

Atlas Obscura is hiring an entry-level audience development fellow to help us run our social channels. This is a great fellowship if you’re interested in social media, editorial distribution strategy, and analytics. You’ll work alongside our audience development team to invigorate growth on our social channels.

Atlas Obscura fellows receive a salary/stipend and work full-time in our Brooklyn office, so no remote applicants or current students with class commitments will be considered. The fellowship runs for six months.
