Flexible Executive Assistant for Microbiome Research [CLOSED]

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.
