Some jobs

[Aaron Gerow]

I've been kind of late on the job news front, but here are two positions 
KineJapan members may be interested in. The Bard position is, I assume, 
replacing Michael Raine, who's going to Chicago, and the Kyoto job, while 
it does not specifically mention film, was posted on the Society for 
Cinema and Media Studies jobs list, so I assume they're also looking for 
a film person. And don't forget the YNU job!
