Dear colleagues,
I'd like to alert you to this search which has just opened for a
Chair of the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at
the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
If you're not interested (though why on earth wouldn't you be?) but
you're aware of a friend or colleague who you think would be the
perfect fit, please bring the search to her or his attention.
Many thanks,
Jonathan Tudge
