The CFR office is in need of part-time help with on-line research, writing, and administrative duties to assist front-line development officers.

We place particular value on candidates who are information specialists–who have the research knowledge, creativity, drive, and curiosity to identify connections (in terms of mission and people) between Tufts programs and potential corporate and foundation funding partners. Students of library science who are looking for part-time work may find this position to be a good fit. We are seeking to fill this position for the 2016-2017 academic year.
