I am attaching a job description for a great summer opportunity working in higher education at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. I had the pleasure of being one of the GA's a few years back and can say it was without a doubt one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. Please spread across your networks and advise interested candidates to contact the Program Director should they have any questions. I am just the messenger.
Thanks!
