By GradHacker. GradHacker is looking for regular correspondents to head up a new column focusing on current events related to graduate school. We envision this as a weekly feature, in the form of either one specific story or a round-up of news relevant to graduate education. We also invite applicants to pitch their own ideas for the format of this regular feature. We are looking to recruit multiple current events bloggers to share this featured column (and ensure that the time commitment remains manageable), but we are also open to the possibility of a solo column for the right candidate.

I’m really enjoying it but there is a learning curve that I’m still scaling. One of the coping mechanisms I have found effective in the past is to become an active part of the community, and this has been no different.
