The Visionlearning project (www.visionlearning.com), a science education website funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Education, seeks a staff writer who will work with our Chemistry Editor in writing and producing online chemistry modules as well as developing chemistry-related content for other areas of our website.

We are seeking applications for the writing of the following group of Atomic Theory (AT) modules:

 AT I (modification of existing module)
This module will describe the early state of atomic theory, from Thomson’s discovery of the electron through the Rutherford planetary model of the electron.

 AT II (revision of current module)
This module will pick up from AT I to describe the quantum nature of the atom (Bohr model) and its implications for electron structure, position, and bonding.

 AT III (new module)
This module will pick up from AT II to discuss the wave nature of the electron, electron clouds, orbital shapes, Heisenberg Uncertainty, and other topics. This module will be relatively conceptual in nature and should leave mathematical calculations to later modules.

 AT IV (new module)
This model will cover atomic structure and physical properties, including how atomic weight, number, and electron structure affect size, shape, and physical properties of atoms. The module will also include a discussion of isotopes.

 AT V (new module)
This module will pick up on AT IV to provide more advanced concepts in atomic theory appropriate for general chemistry instruction, including the configuration of elements, Schrödinger, transition metals, effects on bonding, and other topics.

Specific tasks include:

 Working with the Chemistry Editor to outline topics for chemistry modules;
 Writing and assisting with developing educational modules related to chemistry;

The Village Voice is accepting applications for a freelance videographer to produce brief, reported videos of events in New York City and to pitch enterprise video pieces to be played on the Voice's digital platforms.

The freelance videographer will pitch event coverage (Hot Sauce Expos, public pillow fights, the annual Coney Island Mermaid Parade, etc.) or enterprise pieces (a night in the life of a delivery guy on a bicycle) to Voice editors. Videographers are expected to, in most cases, work with a sense of urgency and with the understanding that news video is often time-sensitive and if it's event coverage, it's likely that there are already few amateur videos of it floating on YouTube.

Our videographer should be able to turn around quickly and effectively, compelling, interesting, funny other otherwise moving videos between 3 and 5 minutes.

There are also also opportunities to produce video in conjunction with our longform feature stories that offer much more freedom for creativity and expression. They also pay more, of course.

We are looking for freelance writers to pitch ideas, develop assignments with our editors, and file stories on a regular basis.
