Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, zunächst einmal möchte ich mich für die Spam-Mails entschuldigen, die Sie gestern über den Methodenverteiler (und damit verbunden Stefanie Eiflers und meine Email) erhalten haben. Offenbar wurde das Passwort geknackt. Ich habe dieses nun neu gesetzt und hoffe, dass dieses Ärgernis damit behoben ist. Anbei finden Sie zudem eine Ausschreibung für eine Promotionsstelle an der Universität Luxemburg (100%, 3 Jahre) in einem Projekt zu Jugendarbeitslosigkeit und Einstellungsverhalten von Arbeitgebern. Beste Grüße Tobias Wolbring --- Prof. Dr. Tobias Wolbring Assistant Professor of Sociology with a specialization in Longitudinal Data Analysis School for Social Sciences University of Mannheim A5, 6 D-68131 Mannheim Office: +49 621 181 1974 wolbring(a)uni-mannheim.de http://wolbring.uni-mannheim.de/
