positions vacant

[Linda Butler]

The Research School of Social Sciences of the Australian National University
has been exploring options for the development and promotion of the Research
Evaluation and Policy Project (REPP), since the death of the founding director
of the Project, Professor Paul Bourke, in 1999.   A senior position in REPP
was
advertised earlier this year, but the Research School was unable to make an
appointment.  The Research School has now advertised for several positions
'across the board', from junior to senior, with some expectation that this
will
produce a strong field from which to make one or more academic
appointments.  A
copy of the advertisement and contact details follow.
