Hey all, and sorry for cross-posting.

I worked in this department (at the top University in Africa) as the
part-time core lecturer for over 3 years, but it seems timing has
worked against me - now that they have a full-time position, I'm
about to pursue my own advanced degree in Ireland. I HIGHLY recommend
considering this job - even if, rather than looking to settle here,
it's just an adventure in Africa for a couple of years (or if you
want some tenure-track, full-time experience).  It's a very small
department - three full-time posts - and the interactive MA degree
would be yours to control, with about only 10 grad students per year
(the undergrad courses are new, so I'm not sure how those would run).
Christo, head of the division, is game for all types of
experimentation in practice and curricula, and a master at cutting
through red tape, alternative methods of presentation, and finding
funding and equipment - especially considering this is third world.

I've put a pdf of the post ad at http://atjoburg.net/wits-post.pdf -
and note that if you know any 3D-ers, there is also a post for them
(separate MA degree, in same department) ;)

Contact Christo, email address below, with any q's (and unofficial
ones can come to me, should you want a scoop). Best,
