Colleagues:
Attached are postings for two graduate assistant positions with the
Neighborhood Engagement Centers - one for research and assessment, one as a
cultural assistant (fluent in Mandarin). I anticipate starting both
positions in January, potentially sooner on an hourly basis if the right
candidate was free to accept an assistantship before break. Please share
with graduate students who may be interested and skilled. For your
convenience in forwarding this message, I have copied the text of the
attachment below.
Thank you for your help in publicizing these two opportunities.
with regards,
Kris
