[This message contains three pieces of news.  I'd also like to apologize for
inadvertantly sending a message entitled "February Calendar" out on Monday.
While a working-class studies calendar is certainly interesting, it wasn't
my intention to post it to the list.  - AJ]

* JOB: Departmental Lecturer in the Anthropology of Migration, University of
Oxford, Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology
The ESRC Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS -
www.compas.ox.ac.uk) within the Institute of Social and Cultural
Anthropology (ISCA), a department of the School of Anthropology , wishes to
appoint a Departmental Lecturer in the Anthropology of Migration. It is
anticipated that the post-holder will have a research background, alongside
graduate and undergraduate teaching experience, surrounding the anthropology
of migration. The position is a fixed-term three-year post tenable from 1
August 2005 or as soon as possible thereafter. It is hoped to negotiate an
affiliation with an Oxford college. The salary range is £19,460 - £25,699
with a possibility of extending to £27,989 in exceptional circumstances.
COMPAS and ISCA have established a new M.Phil. degree programme in Migration
Studies to start in October 2005. This two-year programme will provide
training in Social Anthropology, Migration Studies and methods of social
research to students drawn from across the social sciences. The M.Phil.
programme is interdisciplinary in nature and will prepare students for
independent D.Phil. research on migration in social anthropology or one of
the other social sciences. The postholder's main responsibilities will be to
coordinate the degree programme and teach core components in the M.Phil.
programme. She or he will also be responsible for the organization of
several of the other components in the programme, including dissertation
supervision, that will be shared by the post-holder and other members of
COMPAS academic staff. In addition, the post-holder may be asked to make a
