Hi Michelle,
I'm having trouble contacting Dvora via the email address provided. My email keeps coming back as "undeliverable." Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks for posting this job. It looks very intriguing.
Yours,
Pat
Please note that this is a NYC-based job. Soon, we may be hiring remote Academic Content Experts so if you fall into that category, feel free to contact me, specifying that constraint.
I can be reached at dvora@knewton.com
At this point, we are only looking to hire Mathematics content experts, in-house. I will keep people on file should we open it up to remote hires later.
I'd like to clarify that we are only hiring Mathematics content experts now, for an in-house, full-time position. To those who have contacted me about working remotely, I appreciate your emails and I will keep you on file.
