As this listserv reaches an international community allow me to
briefly describe the area:   Minnesota is located in the northern
United States, just south of Ontario, Canada and is home to the
headwaters of the Mississippi River. The state is known as socially
progressive with a strong regard for our beautiful natural
setting--it's not called the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" for nothing! We
enjoy 4 beautifully distinct seasons, with opportunities for almost
any outdoor activity.  Minneapolis is the largest city in the state,
with a metro area population of almost 3 million.  Minneapolis
offers the amenities of a larger city, such as vibrant art, theatre,
and dance communities, good shopping, and excellent public
transportation,  without sacrificing smaller community charm.

We are excited about the potential for this position, and expect
that it may appeal to candidates with backgrounds in academia,
conservation, museum administration, and more.  Please do consider
it.
