    Creative Consultant

    About Carboncopies Foundation

    The Carboncopies Foundation is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the science and technology of whole brain emulation-the process of transferring the structure and functions of a brain from its original biological substrate to an engineered computational one. Founded by neuroscientists and technologists, we serve as a nexus for research collaboration, education, and public discourse on the path toward preserving and extending human cognition.

    Our initiatives span disciplines including neuroscience, computer science, neuroengineering, artificial intelligence, and philosophy. Through workshops, webinars, publications, and community coordination, we bring together researchers, students, and visionaries who share our mission. We believe that whole brain emulation is not only a grand scientific challenge, but a transformative opportunity for the future of human experience and identity.

    With over 15 years of history in the field, our team continues to foster innovative research and interdisciplinary collaboration. Our projects are powered by a dedicated community of volunteers-over 100 have contributed to date, with more than 30 actively engaged today.

    Position Overview

    We are seeking a Creative Consultant to generate imaginative, compelling ideas for videos, campaigns, storytelling, and other content that communicates our mission and inspires our audiences. This is a concept-driven role: you will develop the creative "seed" that sparks new initiatives and guides our writers, designers, and media producers.

    The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker with a talent for storytelling and messaging. You should be able to brainstorm strong ideas for how we present ourselves to the world-whether that’s the framing of a public campaign, the hook for a video explainer, or the core message of a fundraising effort.

    Key Responsibilities
    • Develop high-level ideas and creative direction for video scripts, campaigns, and communications

    • Brainstorm and pitch content formats, themes, metaphors, and narratives

    • Contribute to public-facing messaging and outreach materials

    • Collaborate with internal teams to refine ideas and shape execution

    • Offer strategic input on audience engagement and tone

    • Provide guidance on structure, emotional resonance, and conceptual clarity

    Qualifications
    • Strong conceptual and storytelling skills

    • Ability to generate ideas that are innovative, mission-aligned, and audience-focused

    • Clear communicator with the ability to express ideas in writing or visual outlines

    • Comfortable collaborating with design, video, and communications teams

    • Familiarity with science communication, nonprofit outreach, or public education is a plus

    • Interest in neuroscience, consciousness, or future-oriented technologies is welcome

    Time Commitment

    Flexible, approximately 5-15 hours per week

    This is a volunteer position

    Benefits
    • Shape the creative voice of a pioneering nonprofit in neurotechnology

    • Collaborate with scientists, engineers, and creatives at the frontier of brain emulation

    • Build a strong portfolio of creative work for a meaningful mission

    • Connect with a dynamic interdisciplinary community

    • Attend Foundation-hosted events and webinars at no cost
