Two important notes:

1. The application form has been revised to provide more room for submitting education and work experience.

2. The Zoho.com site that we have used for the application has been having some difficulties. If you attempt to get into the application and can’t do so, PLEASE CONTACT ME, Lyndall Miller, at lymiller@jtsa.edu. I will put your name and email into a grid and send an alternate application to you as soon as possible.

Two references will also be required, one preferably from a current supervisor and a second from a colleague. Those forms will be provided when we receive your application.

For more information contact Lyndall Miller, JECELI Director, at lymiller@jtsa.edu .

The application deadline is December 14, 2015.

We hope that you find this opportunity compelling and will consider becoming a member of the JECELI participant community!
