Opportunity: AMST Research Assistant Position

Tue, 09 May 2023 14:40:43 -0400

Research Assistant Tasks include:

Printing and photocopying articles and book excerpts

Transcribing highlighted sections of sources

Picking up books from the library

Organizing and managing all sources in an Excel spreadsheet, Zotero, and physical folder box

Finding academic and popular media articles for subjects of interest

The project is on contemporary social forms of reading and readership (think, book clubs) and race. You don't need any expertise in the area of research, just good research and organizational skills.

Pay would be $15 an hour.

1-2 hours of work on the project per week; but the RA can set their own schedule.

The position would start in Fall 2023 and hopefully the RA could commit to one full academic year.
