Hello all,
We are looking for an editor for law and history. The job was posted a couple of weeks ago, but I gather from some recent emails I've received that with summer vacations some folks just found out about it. The announcement is below, and contains the link to NYU Careers for formal applications. We'll keep it open for another week or so.
If you have any questions or recommendations, please drop me a note.
All my best for the last of summer!
Eric Zinner
