FW: Indigenous Nations Studies Assoc./Full Professor and Director

[Rankin, Robert L]

Dear fellow Siouanists,
 
Below is a job description for the directorship of the Indigenous Nations Studies Program at the University of Kansas.  It is established at the associate or full professor grade, so I'm afraid it isn't for recent grads, but I hope someone among you might be interested.  They very much need a linguist for their language track, which, in my opinion, has been languishing.  
 
Bob
