call for editor applicants

[dh125 at COLUMBIA.EDU]

Dear Ms. Taylor,

I was intrigued by the call for editor you posted. I recently  
completed my Ph.D. in Anthropology at Columbia and am teaching at  
Columbia and City College while looking for work. Prior to beginning  
my Ph.D. studies, however, I worked for 10 years as a print and  
electronic journalist, primarily as Managing Editor of several  
monthlies. As my own theoretical mooring draws heavily upon  
linguistics and semiotics, I am very interested in pursuing the  
position. If you would be so kind as to forward the long form of the  
application, or a web address where I can find it myself, I would be  
most appreciative.

Best Regards,

Drew Hopkins
