Dear all,
I am very happy to be able to announce a new paid internship position at
Pomona College. It would be ideal for a graduate student conducting research
in the field of language learning and technology and a good stepping stone
for someone who wants to become a language lab/center director.
We have built our new language center over the past two years and are very
excited about its completion this late spring.
Please share this information with your colleagues and students, and
encourage suitable candidates to apply. Please don't hesitate to contact me
if you have any questions. See the job announcement below. More info can be
found on the job web site:
