This is an unpaid volunteer position

About this opening:

Commitment: approx. 7 hrs a week

We are recruiting two team members dedicated to visual research and B-roll support for both channels. You will understand the episode topics, find suitable supporting visuals, document sources and work with editors to place those assets meaningfully in the finished shorts.

Key Responsibilities

• Review episode topics, scripts or selected clips to understand the visual requirements and context.
• Research suitable historical footage, archival images, maps, news footage, documents and other relevant visuals.
• Verify visual relevance, dates and context; avoid misleading or incorrectly attributed footage.
• Check licensing, permissions and usage restrictions; prioritize properly licensed or authorized sources.
• Download approved assets, record source links and usage notes, and organize them in shared folders.
• Trim, format and integrate B-roll into assigned edits, coordinating timing and visual transitions with Shorts editors.
• Support both i3 Politics and De-Secularize Islam; respond to priority requests and revision feedback.
• Maintain a reusable, searchable asset library and update progress in the team tracker.

Klap is the team’s designated clipping and editing tool for now. Training will be provided on Klap, team workflows, brand standards and content tracking. This training supplements - rather than replaces - the prior editing experience required for this role. Team members will help strengthen and grow i3 Institute’s short-form and social media operation.

Skillset/Experience: Requirements

• Please include examples of previous work/portfolio with your application.
• Previous experience with video editing or integrating B-roll into edited videos is required.
• Strong online research skills and familiarity with political, historical or Islamic subject matter.
• Ability to understand a clip’s meaning and choose visuals that genuinely support it.
• Basic knowledge of video formats, timing, visual pacing and file organization.
• Reliability, careful source documentation and willingness to commit long term.

Nice to Have

• Experience with archives, stock libraries, maps or documentary-style content.
• Familiarity with Klap.
