This listserv sends out brief descriptions only. For further details, follow the link listed.

Please send me items to post to the list that would be of interest to Society members: position announcements, postdoctoral announcements, grant and funding opportunities, conference announcements, calls for papers, and brief queries on research topics. The sooner you send me something, the more likely that I will be able to have it posted before its deadline.

Thanks!
