"The Chronicle's Careers section is looking for graduate students, postdocs, faculty members, and administrators who will be on the job market in the 2007-8 academic year and would be interested in keeping a diary of their job search.

Since 1998, we've featured the job-market stories of academics in a variety of disciplines. They've written regular, first-person accounts throughout the year of their attempts to find a faculty or administrative job in academe, and in a few cases, a nonacademic job. (You can read their columns on the site.)

If you have a flair for writing, here's an opportunity to use it and get paid."

Application deadline: August 14, 2007. Read the full announcement from the Chronicle of Higher Education's site here.
