Call for community mods

We’re looking for community moderators for Taxonomy Talk!

We're looking for 2-3 community members to help nurture our growing Discord community. As a moderator, you'll help maintain the welcoming, collaborative environment that makes Taxonomy Talk special.

What we're looking for:

• Community members who can dedicate about an hour per week to browsing discussions and helping keep things running smoothly

• People interested in identifying engaging topics and potential speakers for our events

• Individuals who can respond to basic community needs and questions

• Those interested in helping the community become more self-organizing

The role is intentionally flexible and low-maintenance - we believe the best communities are those that can largely self-organize with minimal top-down governance.

Moderators will:

• Be invited to casual meet-and-greets with the mod team

• Be added to notifications for new speaker and volunteer applications

• Help identify interesting discussions and themes from the community

• Assist with basic community management as needed

We value having moderators from different backgrounds and experience levels in the taxonomy field. You don't need to be a senior practitioner or well-known name--we're looking for engaged community members who care about fostering good discussions. If this sounds like something you'd enjoy being part of, we'd love to hear from you!
