From: UNL Announce <announce@UNL.EDU> Date: 09/23/2015 3:36 PM (GMT-06:00) To: UNLFACSTAFF@LISTSERV.UNL.EDU Subject: Title IX Online Training

Dear Colleagues:

UNL is dedicated to the prevention of sexual misconduct and providing a safe campus for our employees and students. In order to be proactive in our efforts, we are establishing policies and procedures to address and reduce sexual misconduct on campus. Part of those efforts includes providing training to the campus community. We are making available on Firefly an on-line Title IX training video. The video, Understanding and Preventing Sexual Misconduct, explains conduct which violates Title IX, and provides reporting and resource options. All UNL employees are highly encouraged to view the video.

Once you enter Firefly, click on “Launch Course” where you see Title IX Online Training on the main page. You will be taken to a log in screen where you will be asked to provide your name, NU Identification number and email. The video takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. You do not have to complete it in one sitting, although doing so is recommended. To complete the training, you must view the entire video and complete the quiz at the end. When you complete the training, you should receive an email providing you with a completion certificate.

Please be advised that while the video indicates all employees are required to report Title IX situations, only persons identified as UNL Responsible Employees are obligated to report. All other employees are encouraged to assist and/or report.

If you need an accessible version of the on‐line Understanding and Preventing Sexual Misconduct training, please access the training video by copying the following web address into your web browser: http://access.unl.edu/speakupstaff. 

More information about Title IX can be found on our Title IX webpage at http://go.unl.edu/title-ix. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your dean, director, manager, supervisor or our office.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for contributing to the safety of our campus.

Applications are invited for three full-time fully funded PhD scholarships in European periodical studies

transnational networks of intellectual and textual exchange through which women editors of periodicals

impacted social and cultural life in early-eighteenth- to early-twentieth-century Europe.

Job description

Profile

You hold a Master’s degree or equivalent qualification in a relevant field, such as Literature, Comparative

Literature or History. Experience in women’s history would be considered a plus.

You have an excellent command of at least two European languages – the term “European” being taken

here in the broadest historical sense of the word, not just the current European Union.

Additional reading knowledge of other European languages would be a plus.

You have good oral and written communication skills in English.

You have an outstanding academic record.

You have an aptitude for original and creative work, independently as well as in a team.

Conditions of employment

The scholarships are offered for a period of two years, extendable for another two years after positive

evaluation. The starting date is 1 June 2016 at the latest.

The net salary will be approximately 1800 EUR per month, gradually rising to approximately 2000 EUR

per month in the fourth year.

You will be based at Ghent University.

How to apply?

Submit your application via email to Marianne.VanRemoortel@UGent.be by 31 October 2015. Further

information about the project and/or position can also be obtained at this address.

Applications should include

yourself a suitable candidate

• a current CV

• transcripts of your qualifications to date (degrees and grade lists)

• a writing sample (excerpt from your Master’s thesis, article, etc.)

• a reference letter (e.g. from your thesis supervisor)
