When I read this, my first question was where in the heck is this job- not
because I wanted to apply, but because the job description is soooooo
twisted and weird. My first guess was Texas a/m., just becasue as
a grad student I went there and my strongest memory is of nearly being run
over by a tank, and streams of ROTCs marching up and down the campus. To a
liberal
Canadian, this university seemed very odd.
What in *** name is the "Experiment Station"
why is toxicology levelled with culture as a "determinant" of "variations"
And strangest of all, why do they want someone who would actually confess to :
" Knowledge of
brain-behavior relationships" as " desirable"
I think that some right-winger has figured out how to hire Jensen or his
equivalent in my country, Rushton, to pose as a "cross cultural" researcher
and wreak havoc in the field-- design some weird toxin in the experiment
station that makes everyone think like a middle class American male.
"School" is a fairly good formula, but not quite effective enough.
I know I know I am really lucky I have a job and all that. Really, I know.
But this job description is one of the strangest and spookiest things I've
read in a while. X-files material.
