[Frameworks] job opening: Video and Animation Technician

[Kate Dollenmayer]

This has been my job since last fall, but next year I'll be moving
into a full-time faculty position, so we need to hire a new tech who
will work closely with me, and the two other video and animation
faculty members, Kate Purdie and Sue Rees. The job is full-time 9
months a year, with benefits, and would start in August 2011. Please
forward to anyone you think might be a good fit, and please apply to
the Human Resources address listed below, not directly to me.

thanks!
