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!
