Become an Assistant Editor SAIS students apply to become editors for many reasons: to improve their own writing, to learn about new fields, to explore careers in publishing and journalism, to learn new skills, and to meet other students with the same interests.

The SAIS Review is accepting applications for the 2010-2011 academic year. Please email saisreview@jhu.edu for more information on application procedures and deadlines.
