Jobs: H-Net listings

This message is a reminder of the H-Net Job listings - we rarely post this information at H-Luso-Africa, as there are rarely jobs that specifically focus on Portuguese-speaking Africa. But if you are in the job market, you should check the Job Guide, as there are often positions in African history or politics, in gender studies, or other areas that will certainly be of interest to our subscribers. The jobs listed here are just a few from this week's job listings, and give you a sense of the possibilities.
