Thanks for your replies - ree, you make some good points - I'll pass them along to him. I'm helping because I volunteered to put out a post since I'm already a member here and thought it might be a good way to get some names. He's putting in his own effort (looking for jobs in general), I just figured this might be a way to get some direction.
Regarding the networking thing - he's currently living overseas, which is why I suggested he look at websites to start building contacts and getting in touch with people so that when he goes back to the US in the spring, the groundwork is already in place.
I did know that most of these jobs require a masters, but since I do know people at my alma mater (Wesleyan) who were hired straight away to work in various branches of the university, even if they had never worked in that area before, so I figured there was at least a small possibility. Perhaps they were just luckier than most, which could well be the case based on the information given here.
Thanks again, everyone.
