A few days ago I sent out a preliminary notice of two jobs open at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln. One of these is a Dean's level
position--Director of the UN State Museum of Natural History. The ad
that will appear in the Chronicle of Higher Education reads:
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) invites applications and
nominations for Director, University of Nebraska State Museum.
Successful candidates will have primary leadership and fiscal
responsibility in furthering the mission of the Museum in research,
teaching, and public service. Candidates must possess an earned
doctorate in science or other appropriate academic discipline, have a
record of scholarly achievement and experience in management and
administration, and faculty credentials consistent with those of a
tenured full professor. This position is responsible for the vigorous
pursuit of extramural funding to support Museum research and public
outreach activities and for developing statewide support for the
Museum. Screeding of applications will begin on March 15, 1995.
Persons interested in becoming a candidate should forward a letter of
interest, an up-to-date vita and the names and addresses of five
references. References will not be contacted without prior approval
of the candidate. Nominations and applications should be sent to:
Professor Ray Hames, Chair, UN State Museum Director Search Advisory
Committee, 302 Administration Building, University of
Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE 68588-0433. Telephone: 402/47202411;
FAX: 402/472-9642. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is committed to
a pluralistic campus community through Affirmative Action and Equal

This is actually an excellent positon for exactly the right person at
exactly the right stage of his/her career. Please feel free to
forward this information to anyone you feel might be the least bit
interested. I'd also be happy to answer questions by e-mail about the
position.
