[SIGCIS-Members] U Minnesota --> history of technology visiting position

[Thomas J. Misa]

Dear colleagues,

Would you please bring this job announcement to the attention of anyone who might be interested in it?  We had a recently announced retirement (Bob Seidel), resulting in this very late search authorization.  There is /not/ any inside candidate.

Many thanks, Tom Misa
