Futurist Gerd Leonhard is looking for an experienced research assistant (freelance / virtual position)

Hi everyone, I am looking for an experienced and reliable freelance researcher to assist with preparing my talks and speaking engagements, workshops, film scripts and various writing projects. A suitable person would have deep background and expertise in future studies (nowist/near-future timeframe ie. 5-8 years), fast yet thorough online research skills, and a curious and agile mind. Formal education in futurism is not required. The mission is to create powerful and concise briefings for Gerd, on a variety of topics ranging from technology and AI to the future of humanity, politics, culture and society. This is a 50-70% engagement and can be done from anywhere – native English speakers are much preferred, tho.  Interested applicants please submit your details here.
