Would you like to be part of The Specusphere? We don't just want writers. So far we've identified some jobs that people can do at any level of commitment – you can do something once a week or just 2-3 times a year. Everything is done voluntarily and you will be in control of whatever aspect of The Specusphere you choose to work on. Help and direction is available at all times making this a fantastic learning opportunity.

Here are some ideas with brief descriptions, but this is not definitive. The editors of The Specusphere are flexible and adaptive. You will be able to change, shape and fix any job description you want. Yes, it is that flexible.
