Dear all,

Please see below my signature line for information about a tenure-track position in the Department of Anthropology at Georgia State University. We hope to soon have this information on our departmental and/or college website, but given the relatively short turn-around time (the deadline is November 15), I thought it best to send along the information now.

Take care,
Steve
