Hello Sloan IM officers..

I just saw this come across the wires last week and I thought it might be nice to post to the IM Club e-mail list.

If there is anyone that has interest in the position, please have them contact me. This position has been filled by pre-MBA and post-MBA positions so there is some flexibility (this is the position I started right out of Sloan).

Thanks and I hope your upcoming conference goes well. Unfortunately I can not attend.
