[UCIMC-Tech] Faculty Positions at Parkland (off-topic .. kinda)

[Ken Urban]

Hey all, 

Parkland is looking to hire 3!! new CSIT faculty members. I know a lot
of you have the wide range of skills Parkland is looking for so I've
send an email to this list.  Please forward this to people who you think
might be interested.  These were just recently advertised and didn't end
up in the Chronicle of Higher Ed, so there is likely to be a very small
pool of local applicants.

Thanks,

Ken
