Dear Colleagues:

Could you circulate this new post-doc position?  It is to work within
the rubric of a couple NSF funded projects on privacy, security and
values in design.  I think there would be opportunities here for a wide
range of disciplinary expertise, as listed below. Feel free to post on
suitable blogs, discussion boards, etc.

Thanks,
Helen
