Interested In Teaching Overseas? Exciting Teaching Opportunities In England Are Available

**Forwarding on behalf of the The Post**

Dear Teacher Candidate,

The Post is Lakehead University's Undergraduate Research Journal. The Post is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed, open access journal. The goals of The Post include: offering students the opportunity to become familiar with the peer-review process so that they might better understand it in their academic futures, and dismantling the barriers between disciplines so that we might all be able to benefit from the information that is being proliferated in different departments, even if it is not our specific area of study. 

The Post is very close to publishing its second issue and you may read the first issue at post.lakeheadu.ca. The deadline for submissions for the third issue of The Post (to be published March 2017) is Friday, November 25. The Post is an interdisciplinary journal and therefore submissions from all undergraduate programs are encouraged.  Submissions should be no longer than 25 pages (although exceptions can be made), should be in APA format, and may be on any topic as long as it is a research based paper.  In class assignments as well as extra-curricular research are accepted. 

Students can also get involved with The Post as reviewers and we are currently seeking a Copy Editor, a Journal Manager, and soon, a new Editor-In-Chief. Interested students may email thepost@lakeheadu.ca for more information.
