General Discussion, Rumors, and Speculation

The latest issue of the Smithsonian Anthropology newsletter indicates that they are working to fill two curator positions including one in Indigenous North America. The SI Human Resources page doesn't have any info on this. It may be something for an archaeology PhD, but does anybody have info? Is the search already concluded? Not an open search? (September 22)
