Hi all,
I apologize in advance if you feel this is cluttering your mailbox, but
given the subject matter of this list, I thought you would be the best to
see this job announcement.
The Department of Telecommunications at Penn State has a job opening at
the assistant professor level. I think we have an excellent faculty
and we offer both a Master's and a Ph.D. degree in addition to our
undergraduate program. The College of Communications is very
eclectic and we embrace all methodologies and perspectives. We also
get wonderful institutional support. In short, I think this is a great
place to work and grow as a scholar. Many of us in the department
(and university) are conducting Internet related research, and there are
many opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration.
I would be very grateful if you would forward the following job
announcement to any graduate students in your program who are finishing
their degrees (or any recent graduates who have jobs elsewhere) who you
think would be a good fit and who have strong scholarly potential.
We are particularly interested in receiving applications from female and
minority candidates, since our department is very strongly committed to
diversity. Needless to say, if YOU are interested in this job, we
hope you will apply as well.
Thanks. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Very sincerely yours,
Matt Jackson
