Former First Things assistant editor John Rose has spent the past year living in Spain while working for a think-tank there. He’s headed to Duke Divinity School in the fall, and his employer is looking for a replacement. Young readers of First Things might want to consider applying:
The Social Trends Institute is beginning a new STI Fellowship program this year. Applicants should be recent college graduates and native English speakers. They should also possess strong writing and organizational skills, and preferably speak some Spanish. Knowledge of website maintenance is a strong plus. Main responsibilities include: organization of experts meetings, book proposals and dissemination, preparing articles, website maintenance, new projects. A small team structure means a high level of responsibility and involvement in decisions.
This year’s fellowship will begin in September and last for one or two years. STI Fellows will be provided with a reasonable salary. Other benefits include the opportunity to live in Barcelona, Spain and work in a lively university environment. If you know a young person who fits this description, please encourage him or her to email a resume and cover letter to [email protected].
