Purdue people, come work with me! This is a really great experience if you are interested in academic publishing or are even just looking to improve your own writing.
Just a reminder that applications for the MFS editorial assistantship are due TOMORROW, 2/11, noon.
This is a .5 appointment for 24 months that calls for 15-20 hours of service per week. It is open to Purdue Grad students with 2 years of funding left.
Come work with us!
If you have any questions about the job, don't hesitate to reach out to Narim, @AllynKPearson , or me! We would love to have you join the team.

I'm on book 5 of 6 of some really trashy fiction despite the growing pile of scholarly books on my kitchen table that I NEED to read. But I won't apologize for taking the time to fall in love with reading again.
