Opportunity: AMST Research Assistant Position

Beginning Fall 2023


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. 

Contact Tamara Bhalla (tbhalla@umbc.edu) directly for more information.
