The Cato Institute seeks qualified candidates for the Associate Editor, Free Society Magazine position. Free Society is the Cato Institute&rsquo;s flagship magazine that explores the ideas and principles that make a free, open, and prosperous society possible.

Each issue combines intellectual depth with sharp design and compelling storytelling to tackle the most urgent debates in economics, politics, culture, and philosophy.</p><p>
As part of Cato&rsquo;s broader communications strategy, Free Society plays a central role in widening the audience for libertarian ideas and reaching people who may be encountering these principles for the first time. It is a growing publication with ambitious goals, and we are looking for someone who wants to help shape its future.</p><p>
The Associate Editor will be a core member of a dynamic editorial team that is deeply integrated into Cato&rsquo;s mission and communications strategy. Working closely with the Managing Editor and Editor in Chief, you will support every stage of the editorial and production process for both print and digital editions. This includes pitching and developing story ideas, commissioning writers, editing drafts, shaping the magazine&rsquo;s narrative arc each quarter, coordinating layout and design, and helping drive the magazine&rsquo;s promotional efforts.</p><p>
This role is ideal for someone who loves ideas, believes in Cato&rsquo;s mission, and wants to help bring the timeless principles of libertarianism to the widest possible audience.

About Cato</b></p><p>
The Cato Institute is a public policy research organization &ndash; a think tank &ndash; dedicated to the principles of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace. Its scholars and analysts conduct independent, nonpartisan research on a wide range of policy issues.</p><p>
Founded in 1977, Cato owes its name to Cato&rsquo;s Letters, a series of essays published in 18th-century England that presented a vision of a society free from excessive government power. Those essays inspired the architects of the American Revolution. And the simple, timeless principles of that revolution &ndash; individual liberty, limited government, and free markets &ndash; turn out to be even more powerful in today&rsquo;s world of global markets and unprecedented access to information than Jefferson or Madison could have imagined. Social and economic freedom is not just the best policy for a free people; it is the indispensable framework for the future.</p><p>
