Hey y'all. So next week is my last week as a full-time City Paper staffer. We'll get into all the mushy-mushy bawling goodbye-love-you-forevers in a few days, but for now — CP needs to hire someone new! The best alt-weekly in Philadelphia is looking for an Associate Editor who can handle both comprehensive food/drink coverage in print and online and take on the responsibilities of a listings editor. Here's the job summary:

This position's Food Editor duties include assigning, editing and writing food- and restaurant-related stories and reviews for the "Food and Drink" section of the newspaper, as well as locating art to accompany the stories. He/she oversees several special issues, coming up with creative concepts for them. He/she writes several daily posts for the Meal Ticket food blog, creating a mix of breaking news and creative content. This position's Listings Editor duties include maintaining the online listings database and overseeing the interns responsible for inputting listings. He/she assigns and edits the weekly "Agenda" column and contributes to writing "Agenda" picks. The Listings Editor, along with the Arts Editor/Copy Chief, coordinates the editorial internship program, selecting and training interns for the fall, spring and summer. The employee's primary duty requires the exercise of discretion and independent judgment regarding the editorial content he/she is responsible for.

Here's the full job description in PDF format.

To apply, send a resume, cover letter and writing samples to Editor in Chief Theresa Everline (theresa.everline@citypaper.net) and HR Director Ron Scully (ron@citypaper.net) with the subject line "Food/Listings Editor."
