Hello Peter 
 I don't know if you remember me or not, we have met occasionally (I am the wife of Rob 
Currie from Entomology). Anyway, I am currently Acting Chair of Chemistry at U of W,and I 
am trying to staff one ofour lecture courses for January (the person I had arranged to teach 
the course informed me today that they are unavailable, so the position is still open). If you 
know of any post-docs or senior graduate students in the department who might be 
interested in getting some teaching experience, I would greatly appreciate it if you could pass 
this message on.
 We have a lecture course available to be taught on stipend (about $3600, see attached 
ad). The course will be offered next January (i.e. in a few weeks), and is a second year 
terminal course in Biochemistry ("Principles of Biochemistry", which is much less rigorous 
thanthe regular "pre-med" biochemistry).The course involves one three-hour lecture per 
week for twelve weeks, plus a final exam, for roughly 25 students. The ad says that the 
position requires a Ph.D. or M.Sc., but a senior PhD student (without an M.Sc.) or an M.Sc. 
student who is "ABD" might be suitable, depending on their other qualifications. Given the 
time frame involved, anyone interested should respond as soon as possible. They can feel 
free to email me if they would like more information.
 Thank you for your consideration of this request.
 Best regards,
 Desiree.
