My dear, dear friends:

I have been offered and am probably going to accept (pending negotiation of salary details, etc., which is the reason this post is still Friends-only) have now accepted! a tenure track job at the University of Western Ontario, in London, Ontario.

This is wonderful news: it’s a great job at a great school, it’s tenure track, it’s a respected research university, I get to teach grad students, I get to develop one of the first programs in United States Studies in Canada, it means being in the same city as my sister and her family, and far closer to the rest of my family, and all my Toronto friends, than I’ve been in years.

This is terrible news: it means moving away from Boston, and so many of you!

More to come, no doubt, in person and on this LJ, about the decision and what it means, and what you all mean, to me. But, yeah. Big news.

Edit: One of the first U.S. Studies programs—turns out University of Toronto has one too. Grumble, grumble, Torontonians think they're so great... :)

Again, like Sean, I didn't clue into this until now! Good to have you back in the land of Tim - lord knows the country has gone to seed without you around.

Thanks!

Good to hear from you, by the way. I didn't know if you were even reading this LJ thing anymore. Must make phone contact someday and get the scoop or at least a precis of Jasmine: Year One.
