I hope everyone had a great summer and is settling into the semester--or diving in head-first, as the case may be!
I will have a series of new funding announcements to post soon, but meanwhile, I'd like to share this opportunity for a graduate assistant in the Research Office. Please circulate among the PhD students you know in the college. Thanks!
