Applications can be made alone or in a pairFamke Veenstra-Ashmore and Meg Byrom

Applications to be the Editor of Varsity in Easter Term are now open.

This is your opportunity to take the lead at Cambridge’s only independent student newspaper, shedding light on the student experience and keeping the Cambridge community informed. You have the opportunity to appoint and organise your own team, develop their talents, and work on impactful stories which shape discussion. 

You will manage a team producing online content throughout the term and be responsible for producing our Varsity Review & Yearbook, a circa 60 page A4 glossy magazine, which will be published at the beginning of June. It's your chance to be creative and to reflect on the newspaper's current place in Cambridge.

Applications can be made solo or as a pair. Though previous experience at Varsity is not required for the role, it is usually expected of applicants. All students who are passionate about journalism, and have creative direction for the new magazine, coupled with an eye for layout and design are strongly encouraged to apply.

More instructions for how to apply can be found here. All applications must be submitted to our Business Manager, Mark Curtis, at business@varsity.co.uk. The deadline to apply is 12pm on Friday 3rd March 2023. Meanwhile, interviews will be taking place on the morning of Wednesday 8th March 2022

If you have any general questions about the application process, please contact Fergal Jeffreys (VarSoc President) president@varsity.co.uk and if you have additional questions about the role of Editor, please contact the current Editors, Meg Byrom and Famke Veenstra-Ashmore at editor@varsity.co.uk.

Applications for other roles on the Easter team will open once the Editor has been appointed. We wish you the best of luck with your application!
