Hello there,

I first posted the job ad below to the FEAST list back in November.  We are currently reviewing applications and will soon begin the interview process.  I just wanted to send this position announcement out one more time with a reminder that there is no strict deadline (see ad below). However, it would be best to submit an application before we begin interviews and campus visits.



Please spread the word to any qualified individual in the area of gender and technology in any field.  The teaching load is 2/2.



Thank you,

JP
