Please see the following announcement for a position in Athens. I am forwarding the announcement from an Art History faculty friend of mine. "Dear Colleagues, As many of you will have no doubt heard Nancy Winter has decided to leave us. This is a serious loss to the School. The Director, I, and others have tried to persuade Nancy to reconsider, but she has now submitted her resignation. She will remain on until Christmas. She has served the School well and we wish her the best. It is necessary to begin the search for a head librarian. This is a very important post and I ask you to think seriously of persons who should apply and either to bring their names to the attention of Carol Lawton, Chair of the Personnel Committee, or to bring the following ad to their attention, or both. Thank you.
