We are re-advertising the professional communications position that we advertised last year. The details are available here: http://careers1.peopleclick.com/JobPosts/Client40_UofC/BU1/External/32-582.htm or pasted less tidily below. Note that this job has a rhetoric & composition core but offers room to expand in a wide variety of ways, since it is located in an interdisciplinary faculty. Please spread this information around as widely as possible. Do you have any promised almost-completed PhD students? Know anyone who might? Know any expatriots who might want to come back to a decent medical system? Thanks!
