Harvard University Press - Editorial Assistant

I am leaving my job as Editorial Assistant for History and Contemporary Affairs at Harvard University Press and we are now interviewing for a replacement. The job is in New York and will be available full-time in May, with some training beforehand. Here is the link to the position description http://hiresjobs.harvard.edu/jobs/summ_req? in_post_id=25132. The Senior Executive Editor for History and Contemporary Affairs is one of the most respected in her field and a pleasure to work with.

This is an ideal position for a highly organized, intellectually curious and mature person who wants to learn about the publishing, academic, and professional worlds. We are asking for a verbal 2-3 year commitment. Candidates must also be very comfortable with PCs and able to quickly learn new programs. This job is definitely a rarity in New York and will be filled by the beginning of April.

If you know of anyone, or yourself are interested, please send a cover letter and resume to my work email: rachel_weinstein@harvard.edu. Further questions should be directed to that address as well.

Thanks!
Rachel
