Career Opportunities
We'll continue to rely upon our members to announce career opportunities through the listserv. However, several times per month, often on Tuesdays or Fridays, "Career Development" Chair Scott Sehnert from Auburn University arranges to have new job postings transcribed from the listserv to this page. Please be advised that these postings are very fluid and can change abruptly, and that the most current opportunities can be found on the listserv, so we cannot always be sure the information posted here is up to date. That said, we'll strive to steadily improve and expand the content of this page to better serve CPSDA members. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
