My assistant, Shirley Crenshaw (713 853 5290), will call you to discuss the timing. Vince Kaminski Nurit Krausz on 03/01/2000 10:44:00 AM To: Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Nurit Krausz Subject: Job application Dear Dr. Kaminski, I currently hold a post-doctorate position in the Mathematics Department at the University of Texas at Austin (with a Ph.D. in theoretical physics). Although my position here is renewable until summer 2001, I would like to move on to a more dynamic field where I can still use my analytical skills and mathematical knowledge. Since attending a series of lectures on mathematical finance given by Dr. Marc Potters last summer I started studying the subject on my own and found it intriguing and challenging. I am interested in a position in your group (RAC) at Enron. Last fall in a Career seminar at UT you mentioned that people who are interested can send you their resume. If this is still relevant, please find below my resume (in Word 97 and text formats). Thank you for your time.
