Dear Joe,

How are you doing?

I am writing because there is currently a call for post-doc positions
open at our university that might be interesting to some of your PhD
students or post-docs.  I would be very much obliged if you could bring
the call to possibly interested candidates. Please see for details
below, or contact me if you have questions.  Also, if a student/post-doc
is interested, please have them contact me.

Please note that there is a preference for candidates from institutions
on the official list of strategic partner universities of Tübingen.  In
Canada, the only one is Queen's University.  So if you know of any
candidates there, their chances would be particularly good...

While the official goal of this is to bring some English teaching to the
University Tübingen and enhance the academic exchange, the teaching
itself is only two hours/week during the 15 weeks of a semester, i.e. it
is rather light and should allow lots of time for science!

I hope you are well, and our paths will cross again in the near future!!
All the best,
Daniel Braun
