Although most people on this list have jobs, I thought you guys might
be willing to distribute this announcement to lists that you know of that
might have qualified interested parties. Although the announcement doesn't
explicitly list working with blind students, there is definitely a need
here, and people who don't mind worming their way into that position should
consider this post.
