[student job] – Odegaard Writing & Research Center now hiring!

We seek qualified undergraduate and graduate tutors to serve as peer tutors – to collaborate with UW students, staff, and faculty on their myriad writing and research projects.  Last year, tutors in the OWRC worked with writers from more than 100 departments on campus, representing all colleges – so when we say we are working hard to build an interdisciplinary staff for next year, we really mean it.

Details of the position and hiring process can be found at http://depts.washington.edu/owrc/Hiring2012.html

This will be a rolling hiring process, with preference given to earlier applicants; it is well worth applicants’ time to submit their materials now, during the break, rather than later in Spring Quarter.  Top early-applying candidates will also be given the option of beginning work this Spring and Summer rather than waiting until Early Fall Start (mid-August).

Finally, additional preference will be given to candidates from STEM fields and business; recruiting tutors from these fields is a hiring priority for the OWRC, given the writers we work alongside most often.
