GTAs will gain editorial experience, get acquainted with a section of the philosophical literature, and learn about the PhilPapers technological platform. These positions are allotted at the same time as other GTA positions.

For those with programming skills, there is the possibility of working alongside professional programmers on CDP/PhilPapers projects. Please contact David Bourget to discuss options if you have relevant qualifications.
