paleonet Job at Smith College

["Whitey Hagadorn" <jwhagadorn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paleonetters:

Smith College is hiring a paleontologist this year, and my colleagues
there asked me to post their ad to PaleoNet (below).  Please forward
this ad to any of your interested colleagues, post-docs, or former
students.  Although I am not on the search committee, I can say that
they have a fantastic department, their students are extremely sharp,
and working here in the 5-college community is a lot of fun!

Regards,
