>Hello ARLIS Members,
>
>The Assistant Museum Scientist staff position in the University of
>California Irvine's Visual Resources Collection is officially open (I've
>copied the brief version below). You can find the full job description and
>complete information about the application process at
>http://www.hr.uci.edu/ where you should select "jobs" from the menu of
>options. Presently, it is listed under both "new positions this week" and
>"research/lab positions", the latter where it will stay until filled,
>under "assistant museum scientist". We are happy to answer general
>enquiries, but please do not send resumes to us as they must be channeled
>through Human Resources for official acceptance. The entire application
>process is all online for your convenience and they will be forwarded to
>us electronically rather quickly. Perhaps overly optimistic, we are hoping
>to have a good pool of applicants by March 15th, 2002, although it will
>remain open until filled. After a busy quarter with this position vacant,
>we are eager to have someone in place early in the Spring quarter, if it
>is at all possible.
>
>I don't recommend you follow the link to the web site provided for
>departmental information, as I believe some enterprising human resources
>person used their own judgment about this and somehow came up with the
>Film Studies Department web site rather than ours! Our web site is located
>at http://www.arts.uci.edu/vrc/ where you can look at images of the
>facility and find basic information about us. The Art History Department's
>web site, our primary patrons, is at
>http://www.humanities.uci.edu/arthistory/. Yet, we are also a resource for
>(and funded by) both the School of Humanities
>http://www.humanities.uci.edu/ and the School of Arts
>http://www.arts.uci.edu/, with campus and community patrons using the
>collection as well.
>
>Since we have an unusual organizational structure, I thought I should
>explain that there are two other full-time curators working in the
>collection: Loy Zimmerman, employed by the Arts, and me, employed by the
>Humanities. Although the candidate will be working closely with us both,
>it is a Humanities position and I will be the immediate supervisor. If the
>position has not been filled by the ARLIS/VRA conference in St. Louis,
>both Loy and I will be attending and available to discuss the position
>informally. We encourage members to apply and are happy to answer specific
>questions via e-mail. Thank you.

>Best regards,
>Maureen
