So. Who do you think is getting her own research assistant?
Yes, that will be me. It turns out I could have had one this entire time but, for some reason, it had never occurred to me to ask. Until I finally did and got one.
The RA will be helping me throughout next semester. And I will be hiring the RA on my own. It will be a relief not to have to struggle with a hiring committee.

Congrats. A good RA is invaluable — and positive word-of-mouth about his or her experience with you will help you hire more in the future.

Good for you. I am losing both my TAs next semester.

I get no help from anyone. Just one more reason to be on the job market. 😦

You say “assistant”, I say “spy for the organisation” …
I prefer to be like Smiley from a John le Carré novel — I want to be the only one sitting at the head of the long table after cleaning out all of the informers. 🙂
