[Taxacom] Updated job announcement

[Richard Jensen]

Below is an updated version of a job announcement that I posted a couple 
of weeks ago. The major changes reflect appointment as Lilly Scholar 
(provides reduced teaching loads and startup funds for the new faculty 
member).

Please forward this to anyone you know who might be listed.

Cheers,

Dick J
