Subject: Announcement for a PhD researcher in Finland
Sender: Darius Bartlett <[log in to unmask]>


The following announcement was circulated on the Irish Geographer's
list (IRL-GEOG) June 16, so I presume it is not too late to
apply. I haven't seen it posted on MAPS-L but, given the nature
of the position, it may be of interest to some of ye?
