[Air-L] ASU School of Social and Behavioral Sciences Director Search

[Alexander Halavais]

Hi, all,

We are hiring (again!), and naturally, if I have to choose a boss,
what could be better than one of my fellow AIR-L contributors. But
feel free to share more widely.

The deadline is coming up quickly. It's a pretty unique school, for
someone who is comfortable working across and between disciplines. And
as a bonus, you get to tell me what to do. (Though you might want to
talk to the current director about how effective this might be.)

Note the rapidly approaching deadline at the end of the month...
