Graduate Research Assistant
The Unit for Criticism and Interpretive Theory will be offering one 33% Graduate Research Assistantship for the 2018-2019 academic year, with possible renewal for the 2019-2020 academic year. The start date for the position is mid-August 2018. The position is open to all Unit-affiliated graduate students; students who are not already affiliated with the Unit are welcome to affiliate prior to the deadline.
