Hey! Sorry about the mis-forwarding of the UWF position
announcement... A little additional advertising for them. As a
restorative, I've sent out our position announcement again in this
note. Several people emailed me to ask, so I should point out that
this is not a replacement for me. This job is to fill the line for
which we interviewed candidates in 2002-3, but lost temporarily due
to budget cuts. The line has been restored and we now expect to
bring another archaeologist to join the IA faculty at Michigan Tech
in conjunction with our new Ph.D. in Industrial Heritage and
Archaeology.
Best,
Tim
