I realize it's a long shot to post this announcement to this list since we
do not have funds to bring in interview candidates from afar, nor do we have
funds for moving expenses, but just in case you know someone who's already
out here, or coming here anyway (we plan to do interviews on March 10), s/he
should apply.
I will be unreachable from Feb 19-26, not returning phone or email msgs, so
I am including all the application details here. Upon my return, I would be
happy to chat with anyone via phone or email who wants to know more about
the position, but it'll be too late by then to request application materials
(you can submit your application by fax, but request the forms only by phone
& have them sent to you by snail-mail) so PLEASE contact UCD Personnel Dept
for an application packet, NOT ME, if you're interested. The rest of this
message is the official Vacancy Listing (VL), plus how to apply.
