translation position

[Ellen Elias-Bursac]

Toma,
I imagine you lounging in the shade in a wifi cafe in Rovinj, sipping
something refreshing and reading this. I saw the posting you'll see below on
the SEELANGS listserv the other day and it caught my eye as something I
might take a shot at. Are you aware, as an alum, of anything I should know
about before I go ahead and send in my stuff? The wording sounds to me as if
they have someone lined up, particularly the part about the
candidate bringing funding with them. It would suit me in fact if they do
have someone lined up for the position because I'm in no rush to leave the
Tribunal but still feel it is a good exercise to apply for things I am
actually qualified for. I don't know much about the Iowa translation
program. Is it, in your view, a good program? Any input you might come up
with would be much appreciated,
best,
Ellen
