Dear Dimitris,

My department is hiring this year: we are looking to fill two positions 
in film and media studies (one at the Assistant Professor level, and the 
other at the Associate Professor level).  I would appreciate it very 
much if you could circulate the advertisement far and wide--especially 
among Australian institutions as well as among anybody else who might be 
interested in applying.  (For full description of the positions, see the 
links; I have also pasted part of the ad below).  Thank you very much.

Take care,

CC

positions beginning fall semester 2009.

comparative literature is desirable. Preference will be given to 
applicants who have begun to establish a research trajectory and who
