My grant will be over with, along with this job, at the end of July.
I know that both my main boss and my supervisor, along with one of the administrative heads of the library are doing everything they can to get me a full time permanent position.
However, due to the recession and other financial issues at the university I'm working for, we are in the middle of a hiring freeze. It is possible to hire someone in spite of that, but only by getting permission from various administrators, including the Dean and the University President. Thus far they've been unsuccessful, though later on if and when state money comes through, my chances might be far better.
Between the fact that at this point, with the recession, it's difficult to get hired full time anywhere, and the fact that this is quite possibly one of the best jobs I've had with good coworkers and a good work environment, naturally, I would like to keep working here.
So any energy sent toward them being able to initiate a full time permanent position for me, similar to what I'm doing now (digital imaging tech specialist--right now it's children's art, but depending on what kinds of submissions the Digitization Center gets and grants that go through it could be far more), would be wonderful and greatly appreciated.
I think my current supervisor would be pleased, too, as if I don't get hired, the Digitization Center will consist of one person running around like a chicken with her head cut off and managing a bunch of ever-changing student workers, and she hates that. ;)
Thanks so much,
Corvis
