Flexible Executive Assistant for Microbiome Research [CLOSED]

Full Time or Part Time 15.00 - 17.00 USD Type: Negotiable

Data Entry Research Wordpress

About the company

We are building a cutting-edge microbiome database, focusing on microbiome signatures for various conditions. This project is part of a broader effort to make actionable research accessible to clinicians and researchers worldwide. Once this prototype is complete, there will be additional projects related to microbiome science and healthcare innovation.  Here you can watch me read through this job description and hopefully this gives you a better idea about me as a person and whether or not you would murder me or write me love poems. 

About the role

I am looking for a proactive, detail-oriented assistant to help finalize and enhance the microbiome signatures database. This is a multi-faceted role that involves:

  • Updating website links and transforming them into proper references.
  • Working with CSV files to create new condition-specific signature pages.
  • Using AI tools (like ChatGPT) to draft and refine content for new condition pages.
  • Developing and improving the website as needed.

You’ll work on large, ongoing projects with clear deliverables and deadlines. The position allows for significant flexibility and autonomy, as long as tasks are completed effectively and on time.

About you

The ideal candidate is:

  • A highly proficient English speaker with excellent technical writing skills.
  • Organized, self-motivated, and comfortable managing large projects independently.
  • Familiar with basic website content management (experience with WordPress is a plus).
  • Willing to learn and adapt to the needs of the project.
  • Passionate about contributing to innovative projects in science, health, and technology.

No advanced coding or technical skills are required, but any background in microbiome research, life sciences, or content management would be beneficial.

NOTE:

The ‘Jack of all trades’ and ‘fast learner’ type of individual is most likely to succeed in this position. 

ABOUT ME:

Highly disorganized as an individual. ADHD. Not a great communicator. 
Self-aware of my own flaws. 

What's in it for you?

This role is designed for individuals who value personal time, autonomy, and meaningful work. Whether you're looking for flexibility, growth opportunities, or a way to make an impact, this position offers a unique blend of benefits:

  • Flexibility: Set your schedule and work from anywhere.
  • Work-Life Balance: Ideal for parents with young children, individuals with caregiving responsibilities, or anyone who prioritizes flexibility in their professional life.
  • Freedom from Micromanagement: If you thrive in an environment where you’re trusted to manage your own time and deliver results, this is the role for you.
  • Growth Opportunities: Gain experience in content creation, website development, and health science communication.
  • Meaningful Work: Contribute to projects that may impact healthcare and scientific research.
  • Diverse Projects: This role offers the chance to work on unique and challenging assignments, spanning multiple disciplines and interests.
  • Great for Freelancers and Entrepreneurs: Aligns well with independent workers looking to expand their portfolio while maintaining their own ventures.
  • Remote-Friendly: Perfect for digital nomads or remote workers who value the autonomy to work from different locations.

How to apply?

While the pay for this position isn’t high, the role offers unique benefits, including flexibility and the opportunity to contribute to innovative, impactful projects. If you're still here, please include:

  1. A brief introduction about yourself and your interest in the role.
  2. Relevant experience, especially with content creation, website management, or research.
  3. Any relevant samples of your work (e.g., writing, content management).
     

We want to treat this like dating. 

We want both parties to know it's a fit before we commit.  
We agree to pay for this “date”," so let us know what you need to be paid hourly or weekly for this trial period, and let's chat!
