Stephen Hawking Seeks New Graduate Assistant


From geekology, Seen here believing he can fly, famed astrophysicist Stephen Hawking is seeking a new graduate assistant and, obviously, I'm the man-child for the job. "ZIP ZAP, NOT THE STAIRS GW!" Oh relaaaaaaax Steve, I'll just tilt your chair back and we'll bounce right down.

The original purpose of this position was 'to aid Professor Hawking in those areas which he has difficulty due to his disability'. The job has since expanded and now includes:

Managing Professor Hawking's national and international travel.
Preparation of lecture graphics and public speaking
Dealing with the media and press
Development of Professor Hawking's computer systems
Maintenance of computer and medical equipment
Answering inquiries from the public and maintaining the website
Departmental and administrative roles

Not gonna lie, that sounds like a lot more responsibility and a lot less fun that I had anticipated. How much to just carry him around on my back like Yoda?
