  • Create a playlist of 10 videos urls on a given subject from Youtube including:
    • 4 videos as introductions of the department that are actually about the subject
    • The remaining videos should be on interesting views of the subject. If you can make them thematic of miskatonic-university and the Cthulhu mythos, even better.
    • Add Miskatonic University as a collaborator for the Playlist
    • Transfer ownership / Move playlist from your account
    • You can submit up to 18 videos

How to get the job:

  • Fill out the form below and choose the department
  • Wait for approval email with url submission form
  • After the department is granted to you:
    • 1 round of revisions meaning if some URLs are not applicable, they will be mentioned and you will have to resubmit videos in place of those rejected.
    • Assuming approval, you get paid via paypal
    • Your Faculty Membership will be processed in 5 business days

Recommendations:

  1. Consider for the videos you are submitting as your selections should be engaging (for example: a 10-min beginners guide to Physics is good, a 1-hour lecture about a particular area of physics is bad)
  2. If you can tie it into the occult - you have an even better chance of getting selected (for example: Physics and they apply to flying Star Vampires and other Eldrich Horrors)
  3. For 1 video selection - if there is a lovecraft movie that references the subject - add it! (for example, submitting From Beyond for your choice for the Physics dept because of the Resonator device).
