The Borneo Research Council is currently seeking dedicated volunteers to support its ongoing activities and operations. As a scholarly organization, we rely on the contributions of individuals committed to advancing research and knowledge related to Borneo.

We invite expressions of interest from those willing to assist in the following areas:

Digitization of Field Materials

We are seeking individuals with experience or expertise in the digitization of field materials, especially film and audio recordings. Assistance is welcome in both advisory and practical capacities.

General Editors for the Monographs, the Proceedings, and/or the Occasional Papers

This role may be divided among up to three individuals. Responsibilities include soliciting and identifying new manuscripts, as well as conducting an initial editorial review and preparing manuscripts for further processing.

Publication Distribution

We are in need of greater distribution for our publications. We’re looking for someone who can represent the Council at academic and professional meetings, including helping to staff tables at events. The role also includes helping us find new ways to increase the reach and visibility of our publications.
