Geography 2012-2013

This page is for ongoing Geography Searches for 2012-2013
Job Search Season is upon us again this year! The AAG Pages are getting repopulated, and soon we'll be officially on the market again. Please keep this page updated with any new positions you find or apply for. I'll leave a couple of dummy entries up for now, to make it easier to add new postings. Good Luck one and all!

Good luck to everyone again this year! I'm hoping to put very broad geography positions here, so please feel free to include physical and human geography and everything in between. I'm including some international studies/global studies jobs here, because Human Geography is a closely related discipline.

You can add positions to this page or edit positions that are already posted clicking the above "Edit Page" link. The purpose of this page is for job applicants to anonymously inform others of the status of positions for which they have applied, interviewed or been offered.
