> Hi Jeremy:
>
> Next steps...you need to (semi) formally apply, see the ad below.  
> You can probably reuse material from your previous application for  
> a position here, and udpate your c.v.
>
> I'd suggest emphasis on the combination of new media/internet/ 
> political science in your background. I'd also suggest some  
> discussion of progress on the dissertation. There's always concern  
> that a full-time position is going to cause a person to not finish  
> the Ph.D., so any indications of why that is unlikely to happen,  
> that you'll finish despite or because of being in a full-time post,  
> would be good to include.
>
> If you have any questions about it, let me know.
