Dear Colleagues:

I have enclosed a job announcement for a tenure track assistant professor
position in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning at the
University of California-Irvine. We are interested in receiving

including transportation. The committee is interested in candidates with
research interests in the behavioral aspects of transportation.
