Hours: 10-20 hours/week for the duration of the academic year and the summer of 2022. Likely extra hours over the summer. Work will be nearly 100% remote with occasional in-person meetings on campus.
Rate of Pay: $20/hour
Qualifications: Bachelor's degree and documented history of excellent scientific/technical prose. Please be prepared to submit three writing samples upon application.
Please send a brief cover letter and writing samples to Michael Lotti (lotti010@umn.edu) with a CC to Katherine Lindsay (linds059@umn.edu).
