Colleagues,
(With apologies for cross posting)
We'd like to bring your attention to an opening for an Endowed Chair

generous gift, the position is associated with significant annual

LSU has a diverse student population of over 29,000 and opportunity exist for teaching across the undergraduate and graduate curriculum. LSU is situated near the Mississippi River on a gorgeously landscaped campus (with abundant parking!). Rich cultural attractions abound from world class music to exceptional cuisine to outdoor activities.
If you have questions about the position, please email Dr. Barb Dutrow,
Chair, Franks Search Committee, dutrow@xxxxxxx. I will also be attending
GSA and AGU and be happy to speak with you.
Please forward to those who may be interested in apply.
Thanks so much.
