STAFF APPLICATIONS
Staff applications are open. Apply here by Friday, April 18.
As a staff member, you not only get to experience the magical and wonderful hands-on process of publishing a journal, but you also get to participate in a highly motivated and creative group of your peers, immerse yourself into the artistic community of the UW, and make decisions on how the journal will be presented to the public.
​
We’re seeking staff members who are:
-
Enthusiastic about arts and literature
-
Passionate about Bricolage and willing to learn how to carry out its mission
-
Organized and skilled in time management
-
Strong leaders and compassionate team players
We do not require prior experience or participation in Bricolage, but we do consider any experience as a factor when making our staff selections. Volunteering on the Bricolage staff is a very rewarding experience that will lend itself to future publishing opportunities. All staff members are eligible to receive internship credit through the English department in addition to the professional publishing experience gained. And of course, having your name published on the staff page of a journal that’s been around for forty plus years at a well-known academic institution isn’t half bad either!
Staff positions are only open to undergraduate students from the UW Seattle campus. We are committed to working towards a diverse and inclusive publishing industry and community. We encourage people of all backgrounds, races, ethnicities, gender and sexual identities, and ability statuses to apply.
