Unique Opportunity for an Econ student!
A student is needed for help revising a Principles of Macroeconomics

good with deadlines, know how to find and handle online data (including,
e.g., from government websites), have excellent English, and be able to
put a fair amount of time into the project in the next two months. You'll be
compensated for your time by the publisher (McGraw-Hill), and work
closely with Cornell professor Ori Heffetz. To apply, please send your
transcript, a cover letter, and any other relevant information (e.g., resume)
to oh33@cornell.edu, with subject line: "MH help." Start date: Immediate.
