(must be a University of Glasgow Social Science PhD student…)

I am hiring! And because the University of Glasgow jobs website is both fickle and confused when it comes to links, I am going to post the job announcement here in its entirety. This internship, as I said above, is only open to current U0fG SPSS PhD students and will run for about 87 hours, 4 to 8 hours a week. Sorry, non-UofG folks, this is the stipulation of the funding. Other opportunities might open up in the future, however.
