Staff

Join Our Team

Each year, the Observer must appoint an editorial board for the following school year. We are currently hiring for the 2025-2026 academic year, with all positions open. They are listed below. Any current undergraduate or graduate student is welcome to apply. Incoming first-year students are also eligible. If you are interested in joining The Observer's editorial board, please use the form below to apply. Applications are due May 15. We ask that each applicant submits a resume and a single cover letter - even if they are applying for multiple positions, which we welcome. Resumes should be approximately one page long and cover letters should be one page or less in length. In your cover letter, please explain why you want the position, detail how your experiences would help you succeed and mention any ideas you have for the position, itself, or The Observer as a whole. Thank you for your interest in The Observer. If you have any further questions, please email observer@case.edu.

We want to hear your voice! The observer prizes the variety of perspectives that Case Western Reserve University students have. As such, we want joining our staff to be as inclusive a process as possible. Writers, photographers, videographers, and illustrators wanting to begin producing content for us can do so almost immediately. We have training resources, processes and staff that can help individuals starting at any skill level gain the confidence, skill, and experience needed to produce high level work. If you're interested in becoming an Observer staff member, please reach out to observer@case.edu. From there, someone will help you get started!
