I am chairing a search for an Assistant Professor in Interpersonal Communication at the University of Kansas. I strongly encourage people looking at issues centered on personal relationships and new technology to apply, although a new technology angle is not a requirement. Please pass this along to any appropriate candidates you may know, and let me know of any one you think would be a good match whom I should contact directly. Feel free to contact me for further information! I'll also be happy to discuss this further with anyone who's interested at the AoIR meeting in Vancouver.
