Cross your fingers

By on December 12th, 2003

I’ve applied for a job. A non-professorial job that would still allow me to do research — in my field, no less. It’s an administrative position at an independent, well-reputed research library, and they want a new Ph.D. who works in Renaissance studies, which I do. And it’s in a city where I’d actually quite like to live, at least for a few years, and where I know a few people already. I don’t want to post too much about it because I’m afraid I’ll jinx it.

I posted the letter today. Let’s hope I hear back from them!

    If I wasn’t an atheist, I’d be praying right now 😉
    Good luck, Amanda. This would be SO great.

    Good luck to you. I’m doing a PhD in Britain and that sounds like my dream job.

    Thanks for all the good wishes! This week is “give them a call and see if they got my letter” week. (So much more cheering than calling it “massive grading week,” I find…)
