You don’t want to open a Inhabitat in Belgium? I’d be very interested in that kind of position ;-)

OK, you couldn’t have stated it any clearer, but I have to ask. You aren’t looking for any contributors in say…North Carolina?

And I would be interested in doing a danish based inhabitat. Looks like you will need to go worldwide with all the potential interest. How better to really lift the world into a sustainable 21st century?

Bhawna & Karlos & Tom & Everyone-

We work with writers from all around the world. Anyone who reads our site regularly should know this. We currently have contributors in Australia, England, China, India, Germany and all over the US. We will always consider good writers from other countries. However, these particular job descriptions that I am posting right now are all for full-time business partners who I need to work with face-to-face every day out of our US office. These job are not something that can be done remotely. If you want to write for Inhabitat, please get in touch with Emily Pilloton, and send your resume and writing samples to her. These current posts are full-time office jobs - they are not writing jobs.

Thank you!
-Jill

THANK YOU
