Art/Sci Jobs

I thought it would be useful to keep a running log of interesting art/sci job announcements, to advertise these positions, identify potential new partners, and to highlight institutions that are sufficiently interested in the intersection to put funding toward it.

Let me know if you have other announcements to add.
