Bowdoin College is hiring for the position I vacated when I left to come to Skidmore College. You can check out the job listing on their site or click the link below for a locally archived copy of the job description since the link above will eventually go away, wereas my weblog won’t. I had an exit interview with both my boss and his boss before I left and I’m mildly gratified to see that they seem to in large part be agreeing with what I said about my position and how it could best be evolved to better serve the needs of the college.

I don’t know what they’ll pay my replacement but I can say that I was being paid in the high 50’s and my expectation is they’ll raise that somewhat for the new person since there are a few new reauirements, notably the masters degree which I don’t currently have. Oh, and I still think the title is terrible 😉
