I am very pleased to announce that here at Trinity we have an open Assistant Assistant Professor in South Asian Studies. Please try to spread the word so we can get some good applicants. I wish I could give a direct link to it, but I can’t because of our daft
HR system. Instead you have to go to main page and filter by ’School of Linguistic Speech and Communication Sciences’. Anyone with questions is free to write me or Breffni the head of department (I am head of School, which is the unit above the department). </div>
