Dear Colleagues (with apologies for cross-posting):
Jane Freeman has asked me to distribute this ad as widely as possible. Consider
applying if you are within travelling distance of Toronto and have some of the
specific qualifications called for. Specialists in postsecondary ESL and
scientific writing are especially in demand, and there is considerable leeway
for designing your own curriculum. See more about this new and dynamic operation
for graduate students at http://www.sgs.utoronto.ca/english/index.htm.
Encouragingly,
Margaret Procter
University of Toronto Coordinator, Writing Support
