Thanks for asking. FFS does have paid staff, but they are not paid a lot or do a lot of work as as such we are mainly run by unpaid volunteers. I am working to change that and be able to compensate our volunteers, interns and have full-time paid staff, but for beginning we need volunteers to help us build up the organisation a bit and then we can actually be able to raise money in the amounts necessary to support paid staff. This is yet another catch 22 – what in the fusion world is not a catch 22?
Considering we have 300 USD per day Google Ads Grant and have huge numbers of people visiting website each day, we just need a few minor tweaks and some content additions to the website to get that going – and we do have people showing interest, but only a few interested in volunteering.
I expect this position to be only a few hours a week to be able to produce one 400 words article or so. This would enable us better target the website and in addition to a few other tweaks would be enough to get the Sisyphus boulder over the peak.
I am working on more and refining the job specs as well as other organisational documents. Once I have all the job specs ready I will publish them more widely and hopefully we can get enough interests that sifting trough all the flakes will find us a few golden grains that will help make fusion a reality. Naturally once there are enough contributions to pay salaries, we would prioritise the people who actually helped build the organisation rather than someone late to the party.
Would YOU like to volunteer?
