<div>BIOGEOGRAPHY BIBLIOGRAPHY</div>
<div> FYI, I[CHARLES SMITH] have just opened a free
(and noncommercial) Web-based service entitled "Early Classics in
Biogeography, Distribution, and Diversity Studies: To 1950,"
at:<font color="#0000FF"><u> http://www.wku.edu/~smithch/biogeog/<br>
</u></font>This service consists of a bibliography "enhanced"
in several ways,<br>
especially with links to Web-based biographical information on the
authors<br>
involved, and the full-text (as collected in several ways) of many of
the<br>
entries. It is meant to serve advanced students and faculty involved
in<br>
related studies and coursework.<br>
In addition, and should you not be aware of
them already, you might find<br>
three other natural history-related sites I have created
interesting:<br>
"The Alfred Russel Wallace Page"<font color="#0000FF"><u>

<div>MARINE ECOLOGY POSITION</div>
<div>I think I already sent this announcement out, but Phil's letter
is new...</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I'm writing in hopes that you will help spread the word about
a<b> Marine Ecologist</b> position that will soon be advertised (3
April) at The National Marine Fisheries Service Northwest Fisheries
Science Center, in Seattle (advertisement below). The position
is a GS-12 level (somewhat analogous to an Assistant Professor
level). We are looking for excellence and for candidates
that are productive team players that will help build a strong program
in Fisheries Ecology and "Ecosystem-based" Fisheries
Management. We are casting a broad net and will seriously
consider applicants with experience in any subdiscipline of ecology
and with expertise in taxa other than fish.</div>
<div> We are building an exciting, young group of
researchers that creatively address issues of fisheries ecology in
ways that move beyond traditional fisheries management approaches (see
list of recent publications below). Please disperse this
advertisement and letter to anyone you know that might be interested.
If they have questions, they should feel free to give me a call
(206-860-3473) or contact me via email phil.levin@noaa.gov. <br>
Thanks and Cheers,</div>
<div> Phil Levin</div>
<div>The Northwest Fisheries Science Center (<font
color="#0000FF"><u>http://www.nwfsc.noaa.gov/</u></font>) is seeking a
MARINE ECOLOGIST. Appointment will be made at the GS-12 level
with salary commensurate with experience in the range of $55,839 to
$72,588. U. S. citizenship is required. We seek an individual
working in any area of ecology, to complement the existing strengths
in fisheries biology of the Northwest Fisheries Science Center. We are
specifically interested in candidates who will address one or more of
the following topics: (1) interactions of a exploited fish populations
with predators, competitors, and prey; (2) effects of fishing on fish
habitat; (3) interactions between fishes and their habitat; (4) Marine
Protected Areas as a fisheries conservation and management tool.
Additionally, the incumbent will serve as a technical liaison and
provide outreach to fishery managers and constituents on the topic of
marine protected areas and/or ecosystem-based management, and is
expected to publish research in peer-reviewed literature. A
Ph.D. or equivalent degree, postdoctoral research experience,
demonstrated expertise and research productivity are desired.
Applicants must address and meet specific placement factors and
specialized experience as defined in the official vacancy announcement
W.NMF.NWC.020291.JC . To apply for this position, go to the Department
of Commerce Opportunities On-Line (COOL) web site at www.jobs.doc.gov.
Closing date is May 3, 2002. For more information contact

<div>US NATIONAL PARK SERVICE FELLOWSHIPS</div>
<div>Fellowship Program Encourages the Use</div>
<div>of National Parks for Scientific Research</div>
<div> National Parks contain diverse plant
communities that have tremendous<br>
potential to be used as outdoor laboratories for basic research in<br>
ecological processes. To encourage the use of National
Parks,<br>
Monuments, and Seashores for science, National Park Ecological
Research<br>
(NPER) Fellowship Program was established as a partnership of the<br>
National Park Service, the National Park Foundation, and the
Ecological<br>
Society of America. It is funded through a generous grant from
the<br>
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The program encourages and
supports<br>
outstanding postdoctoral research in ecological sciences related to
the</div>
<div>flora of National Parks.<br>
This opportunity is open to researchers who
are eligible to work in the<br>
United States; have completed their Ph.D. within three years prior
to<br>
the award date; and have a faculty member or research sponsor
affiliated<br>
with an established research institution who will serve as
co-Principal<br>
Investigator for the proposed research. Each proposal is evaluated
on</div>
<div>its scientific merit; the creativity of the research question
and/or<br>
approach; the potential of the applicant to conduct high-quality<br>
ecological research; and the value of the Park natural resources
or<br>
ecological features (e.g., habitats, communities, gradients, species)
to<br>
the proposed research. Successful proposals will integrate the
park's</div>
<div>resources into the research to be performed.<br>
Five NPER Fellowships have been awarded over
the first two award</div>
<div>years.</div>
<div> Fellowships are funded for $50,000 per
year for up to three years and<br>
can be used for research stipends, fieldwork expenses,
equipment,</div>
<div>attendance at scientific meetings and other research related
expenses.<br>
Additional informatio and application
materials for the 2002<br>
fellowships are available at http://www.esa.org/nper/.
Completed<br>
applications must be received at ESA Headquarters between September
1,<br>
2002 and October 1, 2002. For more information on the NPER
Fellowship<br>
Program, visit the website at http://www.esa.org/nper or contact:
