<DIV><BR>I am writing to share an exciting paid job opportunity for your
graduate and undergraduate students. I am from Shmoop, a new educational website
for high school and college students. A number of us (mostly Ph.D. and Masters
students from Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard,Yale and other strong universities)
have worked on this for the past couple of years. We opened our doors on-line
six months ago at <A href="http://www.shmoop.com"
target=_blank>www.shmoop.com</A> in the areas of Literature, Poetry, and US
History. Due to the success in these subjects, we are ready and excited to
expand the site to include Science and Math. <BR>
<DIV class=gmail_quote><BR> <BR>We are now looking for part-time or
full-time paid writers in the area of Biology, Math, Chemistry, Physics, Earth
Sciences and Economics to join our current successful writing team. We are
hoping you would be willing to post our job listing to your list-servs or other
places your students might be looking for part-time or full-time jobs. We have
pasted the job listing below, and have also attached the job description and a
flyer to this email.<BR><BR><BR>We have felt fortunate to receive positive
reviews from a number of groups, including teachers, librarians, and students.
For
example:<BR><BR> <BR><BR>·
Shmoop was named "Best of the Internet" by PC Magazine (Jan. 2009) and "Official
Honoree" (Education Category) in the 2009 Webby Awards (Apr.
2009).<BR><BR> <BR><BR>· "A
website you can trust." – Librarians' Internet Index <A

"As a teacher constantly trying to come up with ideas...this hits home! I will
be sharing this information with my students and coworkers so all can learn and
grow!" – High school
teacher<BR><BR> <BR><BR>·
"I think Shmoop is a great concept, and it is exponentially better than [other
online study site], which deters kids from studying, as opposed to Shmoop which
helps encourage it more." – Student<BR><BR><BR><BR>We hope you will be willing
to spread the word about the Shmoop writing positions to your students.
Also, if you have any ideas or feedback for us about Shmoop, please let us know

write. Thank you for your time and we hope to hear from you soon.
