Job Details

The fellowship, which pays $27,000 and includes benefits, runs from July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010. It is open to both MS and MA students. The title is assistant editor, but the job entails everything from reporting and writing (for the magazine and daily for the Web site) to fact checking and a range of other editorial and administrative tasks. We will hire two fellows.
