One bit of crucial metadata about this job posting that I may have omitted: applications will be accepted until May 21. That gives you a lot of time to chat me up about why you'd want to come work with me at Penn State. (No, really, chat me up; it's a great place to live and work and make a difference.) -Mike On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 16:26, Michael J. Giarlo <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Like writing code?
