Dear students on the job market -- FYI - sounds like the immediate hiring need has passed, and not sure anyone would be interested in this, but sending it your way nonetheless in case you want to explore it further. I wasn't able to get much more information. http://www.udc.edu/academics/cas/dept_urban_affairs/index.htm Suzanne -----Original Message----- From: Richards, Leslie [mailto:lrichards@udc.edu] Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2011 6:06 PM To: Ogungbadero, Suzanne Cc: Stewart, Larry; Massey, April; Petty, Rachel Subject: RE: Help with finding someone to teach sociology ASAP Professor Ogungbadero: Thank you so much for responding to my call for candidates. The job position is listed on dc.gov under Udc.edu. We were looking into all specialties as our department has had retirements that have left us with just myself as a full time permanent faculty member. The position is a temporary one, but we would be happy to have a grad student contact us About possible employment. We may have someone hired for this year, as the time is getting close to when we begin the academic year. Again, thank you for your help.

If you could give me a little more information or that would be helpful to our students on the job market. Is this a for a tenure-track position or for a temporary spot? I wasn't able to find something easily on udc.gov, so if there is anything you could send me with more details, or the specific link that would be great. Thank you.

The next time I am in Boston or you are in DC I hope we can get together to catch up. I am reaching out to you for help in locating any doctoral graduates you may know of who are looking for work. At the last minute, the only colleague that I had in my Sociology department retired and we have two potential slots to teach sociology. Unfortunately, I won't be in Las Vegas to recruit for the position, so I am reaching out to people in the field who might know of a good candidate someone willing to come to DC to teach. The ad is located at: dc.gov, and should be looked up on the website as udc.edu, or you can have them go directly to the website of the University, udc.edu. As it is an HBCU, obviously we need someone who can work with minority students although they are transforming the institution to be primarily majority in the long run. At this point we are looking at all fields as long as the person can also teach the introductory classes. My direct contact is (202) 483-7375 t home. My office number is: (202) 274-5675. The best way to reach me is via the internet at: lrichards(a)udc.edu Thanks Leslie Richards
