Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Journal Seeks Digital/Social Media Editor 

OARSI's journal, Osteoarthritis and Cartilage (OAC), is seeking expressions of interest for a new digital / social media editor.

Interested candidates should submit a one-page letter expressing their interest, along with one-page description of relevant digital/social media expertise, CV and a portfolio of relevant products that they have disseminated in this space.
