Transition magazine is a clearing house for the freshest, most compelling, most curious—and often most controversial—ideas about race, ethnicity, culture, and politics. Recent contributors include Russell Banks, Kathleen Cleaver, Ice Cube, Carlos Fuentes, Nadine Gordimer, Philip Gourevitch, Christopher Hitchens, bell hooks, Jamaica Kincaid, KRS-One, Spike Lee, Richard Rorty, and Edward Said. Transition staff come from and go on to the New Yorker, the Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, and other major magazines.

Transition seeks motivated editorial interns who want to learn the literary journal business. Intern responsibilities include reviewing manuscripts, finding artwork and photography, conducting research, and assisting with administrative tasks. Obsessive attention to detail, high levels of motivation and initiative, Web fluency, dedication to good writing, and fluency in the political and cultural issues of ethnicity are all desirable. Minorities strongly encouraged to apply. Internships are generally unpaid; interns must work a minimum of 10 hours per week.

There are no internship opportunities at present. Please check back in August, 2010 for fall opportunities.
