>Dear Professor Perdue:
>
>This is a brief follow-up to a letter I sent to you last summer about the University of Vermont's search for an environmental historian.  When the advertisement appeared it stated that all applications had to be filed electronically. We (and some applicants) have experienced problems with the new system, and so we have reposted the advertisement with the provision that individuals may apply electronically or through the traditional "all-paper" method.  For those who have successfully applied online, there is no need to resubmit.  We also have extended the deadline to November 18, 2005.
>
>I also have received inquiries about the phrase in our advertisement that states that we are looking for an environmental historian "preferably with a global and/or comparative" perspective. The key word is "preferably."  We are looking first and foremost for an environmental historian who will be a strong teacher and a productive scholar.  It is altogether possible that the successful candidate will not have an explicit global perspective or comparative approach.

>If you or a potential applicant would like to discuss the position further, I would be happy to respond to your questions by phone (802-656-4513) or by e-mail.

>Yours,
>James H. Overfield
