CONCURSOS
/ EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Dear all,
the Board Meeting at Aarhus in August 2008 had decided that a
"vacant positions" column should be added to the ESSE website, in
which universities throughout Europe could advertise positions in
the field of English Studies.
I am glad to announce that I have at last got round to implementing
the resolution. The new column can be found at
http://www.essenglish.org/jobs
So far we only have one announcement - and the job description so
far is only available in German -, but I trust that once you have
made this new service known to your colleagues in your national
associations this is destined to become a very popular tool for us
all.
I would obviously be thankful if you could give wide publicity to
this new service.
Yours,
Jacques
