Hi,
I hope all is well.
FYI below, another job vacancy at Temple University. This is NOT the same position as the announcement that I e-mailed a few weeks ago.
The due date for applications is 15 February 2005. My apologies for the short turn-around time, but I received the vacancy announcement only today.
Again, I hope all is well.
