ITHAKA CAREERS

JSTOR Daily offers a fresh way for people to understand and contextualize their world. Our writers provide insight, commentary, and analysis of ideas, research, and current events, tapping into the rich scholarship on JSTOR, a digital library of more than 2,000 academic journals, dating back to the first volume ever published, along with thousands of monographs, and other material. In addition to weekly feature articles, the magazine publishes daily blog posts that provide the backstory to complex issues of the day in a variety of subject areas, interviews with and profiles of scholars and their work, and much more.

Based on the editorial calendar, the Editorial Intern will research stories, help post blog entries in WordPress, and collaborate on tweets related to key events in history -- famous anniversaries, birthdays, national XX day, etc.

The Editorial Intern will have access to the JSTOR archive to find suitable articles to read and reference in stories and tweets.
