Some specifics:
I currently record and edit the Nextflow Podcast myself, but the editing is fairly time-consuming and is increasingly the thing stopping me from publishing episodes regularly.
The main job would be editing recorded podcast episodes, for example:
• taking the raw recording and producing a clean, polished episode
• cutting false starts, mistakes, long pauses, interruptions, etc.
• fixing the transcribed subtitles for specialist terminology (eg. Nextflow not "next flow", and
Seqera shakefist )
• tightening things up where needed, without making the conversation feel over-edited
• handling basic audio cleanup / levelling
• producing the final files ready for publication on YouTube / Spotify.
I currently use
Descript for editing, so experience with that would be especially useful, although I’m open to other workflows if you know what you’re doing.
There may also be scope to help with some of the surrounding work, like drafting blog posts and creating visuals, if you're interested, but the main thing I need help with is the actual editing.
This would be paid work. I don't mind how we structure it (per episode, hourly, etc.) and we can figure out something sensible depending on experience and how much of the process you want to take on.
You definitely
don’t need to be a Nextflow / bioinformatics expert. Being comfortable editing technical conversations would help, but good judgement around pacing and knowing what to cut versus what to leave in is much more important.
If you’re interested, please DM me with a little bit about your experience and, ideally, links to anything you’ve edited before. Recommendations for other people who might be a good fit are very welcome too 🙏
Thanks all!
