Get Involved

1. Chief-in-Editor (2 positions): Responsible for managing the termly scheduling of blog, managing the editing roster, planning events, sending out CfPs, and liaising with the Faculty. This role will require a fair amount of a Ph.D. candidate’s extra-curricular time as it will involves managing termly events, weekly article publications, and maintaining regular contact with the Faculty and Student Body.
2. Historian Highlights Lead (1 position): DHP runs a fortnightly interview column on the new faces of historical research currently working at the Faculty. The HH Lead will conduct interviews with current research students, ECRs at the Faculty of History and publish those interviews every second Monday. This role will require up to several hours per interview (which includes conducting, transcribing and publishing the interview). As an emerging tradition, the new HH lead for the year 2025-26 will be the last person interview for this year (2024-25) and will then take over from Michaelmas 2025.
3. Editor (3-5 positions): DHP has a core team of in-house editors who are responsible for liaising with contributors, editing articles, and helping to manage events. Editors are the bones and sinew of DHP and will take up around 1 to 2 hours per week.
4. Webmaster (1 position): As the blog expands its online presence, a webmaster will be responsible for the upkeep of the website. This will include uploading weekly articles, managing the website content, and updating the online catalogue regularly. This will require a small weekly time commitment with other duties taking up a little more time at the beginning and/or end of each term.
5. Social Media Manager (1 position): The social media manager will work closely with the webmaster to maintain DHP’s presence on X (formerly Twitter) and Bluesky. This will include advertising the weekly articles as they come out and running online campaign for events as and when they arise. Like the webmaster role, an SMM will require a small weekly time commitment with a little extra when events are planned and run.
