[DIALOGnews] DIALOG AND DISCCRS News

[Susan Weiler]

DEAR ALL,

Summer is here, judging by the slow activity on the "news" front! 
Hope you are all enjoying the summer!
      I am just starting to analyze the results of a follow-up survey 
on participants from the first four DIALOG symposia, and will use 
this summer lull to share some of the information as it comes up.  In 
the meantime, have a great summer! Or as good as it can be. Sadly, 
much of the world suffers daily from bombings and other traumas. I 
hope that programs like DIALOG will ease the tensions on some level. 
With this in mind, on behalf of you all I would like to extend best 
wishes and hopes for a peaceful summer to all our colleagues.

cheers, sue


WHOI POSITION IN BIOGEOCHEMICAL SEDIMENTOLOGY
      The Geology and Geophysics Department, Woods Hole Oceanographic Insitution
invites applications for a tenure-track or tenured scientific staff position
in Biogeochemical Sedimentology. The successful applicant will be expected
to conduct research in areas relevant to carbon-burial fluxes and to the
formation and preservation of biologically controlled paleoenvironmental
records in sea-floor sediments.  Development of paleoenvironmental proxies
and matters of timing and transport are of particular interest:
      What can distributions of molecular biomarkers reveal about community
structure?
      What are the relationships between sedimentary records and processes that
may be episodic or only quasi-continuous?
      How do fluxes of biogenic particles vary temporally and spatially in the
modern water column?
      Where, how frequently, and with what temporal consequences are sediments
redistributed?

Collaboration with paleoceanographers, biologists, and marine geologists in
all departments at WHOI is encouraged.  Women and minority candidates are
particularly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D.
or equivalent degree. Candidates are expected to establish externally funded
research programs to support their research. The level of appointment will
depend on background, experience and tenure suitability. Opportunities exist
for participation in our graduate education program, the MIT/WHOI Joint
Program in Oceanography.
      Review of applications will begin August 4, 2002.
