The Modern Language Association (MLA) seeks an intern for summer 2022 to

Reporting principally to the editor of the MLA International Bibliography, the

coverage. The indexer intern will also perform related work as needed and

Particular attention will be paid to candidates who are enrolled in or have

The indexer intern will work remotely and will receive a $960 stipend every

video conferences, communicating with team members through e-mail, documents
shared on Google Drive, and our online editorial system. To apply, please send
