Open Posts: Research Assistant

We are accepting applications on a rolling basis for a research assistant. The scope of duties are simple and straightforward: (1) co-ordinating outreach and logistics with speakers for our events, (2) populating pre-made graphic design templates with information about those events, and (3) making minor updates to the website with announcements about new events as needed. There is no financial compensation for this role. What the GDL can offer through this role, however, are mentorship and networking opportunities with leading scholars and creative writers around the world, and the opportunity to host your own event through the lab, with invited speakers, around a specific theme or interest of yours. If you’re interested, please submit a CV and a short 200-word paragraph introducing yourself and your interest in working for the GDL using the form below.
