Subject: Tenure-track job in STS at Stevens Institute of Technology

Hi - 

We have just opened up a search for a tenure-track assistant professor in
STS to begin in the Fall semester 2012 at the Stevens Institute of
Technology in Hoboken.  We will be posting the announcement to all of the
usual mailing lists, but I thought I would write to you personally to ask
you to bring the announcement to the attention of your advanced graduate
students, recent graduates, and/or anyone you think might be interested.

Thanks!
