CIMSEC is looking for multiple volunteers to bolster our organization across a range of operations. These volunteers will help CIMSEC improve its content, grow the organization, and execute future initiatives.
The types of positions and functions are described in more detail below. Beyond these categories, we also welcome individuals interested in maritime security who wish to contribute their skillsets to CIMSEC in some fashion.
Editors: Senior editors work with authors to provide substantive feedback, sharpen their writing, and finalize their drafts for publication.
Podcasters: Podcast hosts regularly bring guests onto our flagship Sea Control podcast to discuss a wide range of topics on naval affairs and maritime security. Podcast producers refine episodes with audio editing and finalize them for publication.
Officers: Officers conduct high-level administrative and governance functions, include managing the organization’s finances, elections, and membership.
Discussion Facilitators: Facilitators run regular off-the-record discussions for the CIMSEC Flotilla, which organizes candid conversations on naval warfighting and force development topics for the Flotilla membership.
Technical Experts: Support our WordPress functions and web hosting. Play a role in upgrading the CIMSEC website with new aesthetics and functionality.
As an all-volunteer organization, CIMSEC strives to afford our staff great flexibility and initiative in shaping the nature of their commitment. Many volunteers have participated in a variety of capacities and contributed to the organization in unique ways. CIMSEC is an excellent opportunity to deepen one’s interest in maritime security, form connections with likeminded individuals, and craft original contributions to the field.
