[Air-l] jobs at Northwestern & meeting opportunity at AoIR in Chicago

[Eszter Hargittai]

Hi,

I posted our job announcement during the summer (copied below), but wanted
to repost in the context of the upcoming AoIR meetings in Chicago.  I and
other members of the department (e.g. Pablo Boczkowski, Justine Cassell)
will be at the conference and would be happy to meet with people to chat
about our department and programs.

Please let me know if you're interested.
