Hey Scholar, here's what we have for you this week:

• PhD, Postdoctoral, and Research Positions 🇬🇧 🇳🇱 🇺🇸 🇸🇪;

• Tools and design principles for artistically challenged scholars;

• Truth and Justice walk into a University;

• A PhD student sits in a really big chair;

plus some extras, because we know you like a well-stocked reading list.

P.S. As promised, The Letter looks a little different this week. More than that, you’re one of just 20 scholars receiving this edition from its new home on the Internet.

We’ll spare you the technical details, but we’re moving to a new platform—and we need a little help from you. If you could hit reply to this email, it’ll make sure The Letter keeps landing in your inbox instead of disappearing into the void.

We know you always read The Letter (and we love you for that). It’s for you that we spend hours each week putting this together. So if you’re up for it, just send us a quick response—even a single word like scholar will do. It would mean the world to us.

Thank you so much for reading.
