Job: Very short-term independent research position

Dear colleagues,

With some grant funding my institution has received, I’m looking for someone who can conduct approximately 8-12 hours of research in the next 6-8 weeks about different models of supplemental writing instruction used in American high schools, including HS writing centers and opt-in writing classes. I will provide more detailed information about the specific research needed to the chosen person.

The researcher should have access through their institution to JSTOR and/or other databases and be familiar with CompPile as well as scholarly work in Composition Studies and Writing Pedagogy. Knowledge of high school writing specifically is not necessary but is a plus! The person must also have the requisite time available both for occasional (probably 1-3) Zoom meetings (which will, of course, count as paid time) and to complete the work by around the end of January. We will pay $100 an hour.

If you are interested, please send an email and cv to gsteinberg. Feel free to reach out with questions as well.

Thank you!
Gillian Steinberg
