New Job Listing

From
Date
The following is a new job listing. I've placed several new links to online
paleo. resources from the PaleoNet Pages over the past week and updated the
jobs page. If you haven't accessed the Pages lately you might want to check
the new links out. I've also started identifying new links with a "NEW"
symbol to help everyone keep track of additions. If you know of a
paleontologically useful web site, upcoming meeting, job, etc. that is not
currently covered in the PaleoNet Pages please send me the URL and/or text.
