JOB: Outreach position at U of Wisconsin CREECA

[Paul Jude Richard]

Hi Jennifer:

Received your job announcement. I'm still in Beloit teaching 3rd-year
Russian, but am headed back to Madison soon. As you perhaps know already, I
will not be continuing in the Ph.D. program in Madison, but Elena and I
decided to stay in Madison as we love the city and the opportunities there.
Two short questions -- knowing what you do know about my background, would
it be worth my while to apply for this position, and secondly, may I apply
via email. I could send something as early as tomorrow to you (my CV is
updated, but I'd need to draft a letter of application).

Best wishes, Paul Jude Richard
