Hello All!
Well, I've just accepted a position at Purdue University (where I'll
both work and be able to complete my PhD). UC Davis has asked that I
post the announcement below to LLTI. UC Davis is in a wonderful
location in northern California; we have just finished a renovations
and equipment initiative, and the entire building is being renovated
over the summer. This is a great opportunity! :) If you have any
application questions, please direct them to Miriam Heikila
([log in to unmask]). Or, if there is anything I can do or answer,
please contact me at [log in to unmask] :)
Best regards,
Jacque
