[DIALOGnews] Faculty opening at Whitman Colllege: Field Ecology, Environmental Studies

[Susan Weiler]

Dear all,

Sending a job opening separate from the DISCCRS/DIALOG news list is  
probably some sort of gross violation of ethics, but this is such an  
interesting position I wanted to make sure you all know about it and  
if it doesn't fit you, please send it along to others and encourage  
them to apply.

Note the application deadline is October 17. The position involves  
field ecology AND environmental studies. Whitman isn't kidding about  
the "generous" sabbatical leave policy -- you get either your 5th  
semester or 5th year off! GREAT students and a dynamic young faculty!!

Please contact me if you have any questions about the position, about  
Whitman College --.

Cheers, Sue
