Dear PAE,

I am writing with a job posting from the Economics Department,
University of Massachusetts (USA), Amherst,
http://www.umass.edu/economics/.  We have placed the ad in some of
both the mainstream and the heterodox outlets linked on the PAE web
page.  However, I am also sending the posting directly to PAE because
I believe that my colleagues at UMass are doing the kinds of economics
that will interest and engage many PAE contributors and subscribers.
I hope that some PAE participants will choose to apply for a position
at UMass.  If there is an opportunity to circulate the job posting in
the PAE community, I would be most grateful.  Please do not hesitate
to contact me (email below).    Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Michael Ash
