[Air-l] Jobs: Environmental Politics (and IT), Economic Development (and IT)

[Hans Klein]

Dear AoIR-ers,

The School of Public Policy at Georgia Tech has two job openings.  Neither 
is directly in IT, but applicants for either position will have an 
advantage if they have IT interests/expertise. (The ads don't necessarily 
convey that, but that is, in fact, the case.)

If you know someone researching economic development with an IT angle, or 
if you know someone looking at environmental politics, e.g. social 
movements using IT, then they might be interested in these positions.

Anyone interested to know more about the program can contact me.

Georgia Tech has an extensive social science and humanities program in 
which most faculty have interests in technology.  For people with those 
kinds of interests, it is an exceptionally rich community in which to work.
