The Canadian Society for the Study of Religion (CSSR) is currently looking for students interested in serving as Student Ambassadors for our organization. These students would act as local liaisons between their home institution and the CSSR, ensuring that their student body is kept up-to-date on all academic, funding, and professionalization opportunities offered throughout the year through the CSSR.

I'm writing on behalf of The Religious Observer, an online publication about religions! We are in the process of starting up, and we're looking for founding editors to join our team.

Would any of your religious studies or journalism students be interested? We are starting off with divisions for Buddhism, Christianity, Daoism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Sikhism, and each one needs an editor!

We are a non-profit group, so we are all working as volunteers. (These aren't paid jobs.) We're just hoping to produce an interesting, educational publication about religion!

Dear Canadian Society for the Study of Religion Staff and Volunteers,

Dear colleagues,

Please follow the link below for details of a great postdoctoral research job working with myself and colleagues at SOAS, Lancaster and Coventry on the AHRC-funded 'Re-presenting Islam on Campus' project.

Please do circulate among your own networks and send on to individuals you think might be interested. Please also note the tight turnaround: deadline for applications is 9th May.

Many thanks!
Mathew Guest
