Subject:  ADVERTISEMENT (fwd)


Please forward the following to anyone who might be interested. As some of
you might know, there were two similar advertisements in the past and in
one case we didn't make an appointment and in the other we didn't make a
postcolonial appointment. However, in the present instance the climate has
changed in a number of ways and there is extreme pressure on us to fill
this within the current year. Therefore I hope many people who applied in
the past will apply again.
Please note the distinction below about citizenship. It is very unlikely
that we will interview anyone except Canadian citizens and those who
already have "permanent resident" status.
