Jobs and Such

Mr Bob and I looked over all the posting that are available for Mr Bob to apply to (me too, but there are a lot less for my type of science).

I'm kinda disturbed by the lack of jobs in Canada and the Pacific Northwest. The boundaries of where we are willing to apply are shifting further and further from the epicentre of hopes and dreams.

I just cannot see myself ever living happily anywhere near Kansas or Texas (sorry Momma) or any place with lots of churches and Republicans.

On the other hand, Emery has ten positions (unheard of) and more funding per capita than Harvard.

Georgia, Georgia, I've got Georgia on my mind.

*heads of to look for jobs at Moosepiddle, Sask*

The city where I live is considered to be the biotech capital of the world. You should come and live here.

You're so fancy with your big, high-fallutin' Georgia colleges. I think Moosepiddle is more your style. :-)

I'll tell Mr Bob to visit you when he's interviewing.

Hey Bob,

I'll set up a meeting with our VP research and the Dean of Maths and Science to see about creating a couple of tenure-track positions here for you guys. I have that kind of power (well, in my delusional mind, I do).

But if you let me know exactly what kind of positions you're looking for, I will keep my eyes open (I have some access to alot of the faculty openings here in Ontario - and Canada in fact). Let me know.

I applied to Emory for grad school and liked it when I went to visit. They do pretty good science there (at least in HIV research). And it's warm....

You should look for a place up in Beardump, Quebec. Isn't that near Coco?
