NOTES:
 * There might be an error in the description above re: "creative writing."  While the "position description" on  UC's website indicates a creative writing requirement, the "position qualification" paragraph does not.  Also, it appears that UC has two other lines open, one of which is a creative writing position. So, perhaps this is simply an error. I will email human resources in order to clarify. (9/1)
 * Although HR didn't respond, the chair of the dept. did, and he confirmed that there is no creative writing requirement for this job. The job posting is incorrect. (9/7)
 * Thanks for checking. Marked out "Creative Writing" part above. (9/7)
 * What does it mean when an appointment is both three years and tenure track?
 * Possibly that there is a third-year review prior to the tenure year? (it's a common practice)
