Subject: RA opportunity for history student
Dear Emily,
The Mercatus Center (a research center here on the GMU campus) is seeking a doctoral student in history for some RA work. The position does include a competitive stipend, so I’m hoping it might be of interest to one of the students in your
department. Would you be willing to pass the below advertisement along to the students in the history PhD program? Please do let me know if there are any questions I can answer for you, and I appreciate your consideration.
Best,
Jayme
