I am looking to build a modestly reliable stable of graduate level students in a specific field of study (life sciences) for ongoing writing projects that need specialist knowledge: the freelance writing rates on the table aren't likely to be attractive to anyone much beyond the starving grad student years, and they have the necessary knowledge for the job. So hopefully win-win.
Unfortunately, I am so far removed from that stage of life that it's a research project for me to figure out how best to reach that demographic - the times, they have changed.
More generally: how would the minds of HN go about an advertising or recruitment-for-part-work effort targeted at graduate students in a particular narrow field of study? What are the tools and approaches out there that can help with this?
If I didn't know any professors, I would likely go directly to Graduate Student Associations, though be prepared - higher education can feel rather closed off, so they may view you with suspicion until you get your in!
