MARINE PHYCOLOGY POSITION TEXAS A&M
The Department of Marine Biology at Texas A&M University at Galveston
(TAMUG) invites applications for a tenure track assistant professor
position, with specialization in marine phycology, beginning September,
2003. Qualifications include a Ph.D. in the biological sciences, with
specialization in phytoplankton or benthic algae. Postdoctoral research and
teaching experience are desirable. Nine months salary is provided by the
University, with summer salary generated from extramural sources or, if
funds are available, teaching. Responsibilities include teaching
undergraduate and graduate courses in phycology, as well as introductory
biology, advising undergraduate students and service to the University and
the community. An active research program accompanied by graduate student
support and supervision is expected.
Texas A&M, as the land grant university of the State, is committed to
excellence in research, teaching and service. It ranks among the top 5
public institutions in student body size and is within the top 10 in
research expenditures. TAMUG is the university's coastal branch campus,
with ca. 1500 undergraduates enrolled in ten ocean-related majors, as well
as a maritime officers training program, and 75 graduate students
participating in ocean-related research projects. Thematic specialties of
the present 15 Marine Biology faculty include marine mammals, fisheries,
resource conservation, oyster biology, microbiological aspects of seafood
safety, cave biology, wetlands ecology, deep-sea benthos, hypoxia,
biodiversity, and invasive species, among others. (Visit
http://www.marinebiology.edu for more information.)
A complete application packet must include a letter of application, a
curriculum vitae and the names and contact information of four professional
references. The letter should include a summary of research and teaching
interests. Reprints of publications are also welcome. Complete packets
should be sent to The Department of Human Resources, Texas A&M University
at Galveston, POB 1675, Galveston, TX, 77553. Review of applications will
begin in January 2003.

PALEOCLIMATE POSITION IN SWITZERLAND
Open PhD position in limnogeology
"Varved lake sediments and climate of the last 500 years in the Engadine,
Swiss Alps"
The Swiss Centre of Excellence in climate research (NCCR Climate,
http://www.nccr-climate.unibe.ch) offers a PhD position ( 3 years) to a
young enthusiastic researcher. A PhD student is sought to work in a small
interdisciplinary team within the VITA Project ("Varves, ice cores and tree
rings: Archives with annual resolution") in the state-of-the art labs at
EAWAG Zurich and at University of Bern. The PhD candidate is expected to
have strong analytical and statistical skills (sedimentology and inorganic
geochemistry, ideally experienced with varved sediments); a modelling
component (sediment transport or integrated catchment assessment) is
optional.
The candidate will benefit from the special educational program for Ph=
D
students (yearly Summer Schools
http://www.nccr-climate.unibe.ch/download/events/suscho02/suscho_gen_info.ht
ml and regular science workshops with the ca. 30 NCCR Climate PhD
students working in different fields of climate and climate impact
research).
Supervisors: Martin Grosjean (U of Bern), Mike Sturm (EAWAG), Brigitta
Ammann (U of Bern)
Salary: Swiss NSF Fellowship (29,000 - 35,000 CHF)
The position is available from spring 2003. Review of the candidates will
start on November 30, 2002 until the position is filled. Female applications
are strongly encouraged.
Informal inquiries can be made to Martin Grosjean.
Please send your application (cover letter, CV, publication
lists, names and
addresses of 3 referees) to

POSTDOC POSITION, FISHERIES SCIENCE, AT U. WASHINGTON
The Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean
(JISAO), University of Washington, and the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration=92s Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC)
has a research position open now. The appointment will be made
through the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences at the University
of Washington (Dr. Bruce S. Miller). The primary objective of this
post-doc is to develop tag release-recovery methods for examining
spatial distribution and
movement rates of Pacific cod. The post-doc will be responsible for
developing a rigorously-defined model, identifying parameters to be
estimated and designing tag release and recovery strategies that
follow from the model. The post-doc will be expected to use
state-of-the-art methods and to develop solutions to current problems
associated with tagging studies. Understanding these migratory
movements is needed to design a field study that effectively samples
the distribution and abundance of cod before and after the fishery in
both control (no fishing) and experimental (fishing allowed) sites.
Additional opportunities for collaboration with AFSC scientists
include: 1) incorporation of tagging-based estimates into stock
assessment models, 2) expansion of Atka mackerel tag release-recovery
models, and 3) modeling the three-dimensional distribution of walleye
pollock from acoustic data.
Candidates must have a Ph.D. in marine or fisheries science, or a
related field, and must have expertise in the development of tagging
models. Experience with Pacific cod and other groundfish species of
Alaska is desirable, but not necessary. Term of appointment: Two (2)
years, with possibility of renewal for a third year, depending on
funding. The position is located at Alaska Fisheries Science Center,
Sand Point Way, Seattle, Washington. Send curriculum vitae and a
list of four (4) references to : Libby Logerwell, F/AKC2 Alaska
=46isheries Science
Center, P.O. Box 15700, Seattle, WA 98115-0070, libby.logerwell@noaa.gov.
Position open until filled.

PALEOLIMNOLOGY STUDENT POSITIONS AT U. ALBERTA, CANADA
Graduate opportunities (M.Sc., Ph.D.) exist in paleolimnology and
environmental change at the University of Alberta's Department of Earth and
Atmospheric Sciences (http://www.ualberta.ca/EAS/). Inquiries from
students with interdisciplinary backgrounds and research interests are
especially welcome. Potential topics include, but are in no way limited to:
(a) recent environmental change in high latitude and high altitude lakes;
(b) paleoenvironments of the Neoglacial, early Holocene, and last
interglacial; (d) vulnerability of prairie lake ecosystems to the coupling
of climate change and anthropogenic stressors; (d) responses of boreal
lakes to petrochemical emissions; and (e) Eocene diatomites as
super-greenhouse analogs. The Department is well equipped to supprt this
type of research (LM, SEM, ion microprobe, etc). The paleolimnology
lab has excellent microscopic and bibliographic facilities for the
study of
siliceous microfossils, including the donated J. Platt Bradbury diatom
library. Opportunities also exist to interact with cognate units in the
=46aculty of Science, in particular the Ecology and Paleontology research
interest groups within the Department of Biological Sciences. Inquiries
should be directed to Dr. Alexander P. Wolfe (awolfe@ualberta.ca; 780
492-4205). Additional information is available at
