The executive managing editor of The American Journal of Bioethics is leaving us to do lawyer stuff (no, she's not suing us, she actually
is a lawyer, and is going to be working in a hospital general counsel office, actually
doing something rather than playing academic like the rest of us).
So if you love bioethics and want to be engaged in the craziness that comes along with working on a print journal that also controls a website, a blog and umpteen other funded and unfunded projects - alongside 150 writers a year, a 50 member editorial board and zillions of readers - and if you always dreamed of living Upstate, maybe this is your moment. But it really is only a moment - we must hire within the next 30 days:
