<nettime-ann> Faculty Position, UC San Diego

[Noah Wardrip-Fruin <noah@cete.queeg.com>]

.
I'm on the search committee for the position described below, at UC San 
Diego. I think it would be particularly interesting if we had applicants 
creating/studying free software for the "work and communication" area -- 
one of reasons I thought this might be good to distribute via nettime. 
Perhaps a few play/game scholars are out there as well?

We start reviewing applications October 1st, and there's no harm in 
getting things to us early...
