Dear all, this is just a note to let you know I've modified the
DIALOG news format a bit, hopefully it will be easier to identify
items of interest! I'm using blue for the headers and black for the
messages.
I don't know whether there are some people who cannot deal with
bold or colored fonts or other formatting. Please let me know if the
messages are coming through garbled. If this new format presents a
problem I will go back to the plain text format.
Due to the recent car accident, I cannot work at the computer for
long stretches so I am not for the time being actively looking for
material to post--I'll only send what comes across my desk. I hope it
will still be of some use to you all!
cheers, sue

Ecology is the science of the 21st century.
NIOO-KNAW
NETHERLANDS INSTITUTE OF ECOLOGY
The Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO) is a research institute
of the Royal Dutch Academy of Science and its mission is to carry out
fundamental ecological research. This research takes place within
three research centres: the Centre for Estuarine and Marine Ecology
(CEME) in Yerseke, the Centre for Limnology (CL) in Nieuwersluis and
the Centre for Terrestrial Ecology (CTE) in Heteren. International
co-operation, communication with colleagues and training of Dutch and
foreign students are important aspects of the research at NIOO. The
research is carried out by a creative group of researchers that are
actuated by curiosity and for which extended and specialized research
facilities are at their disposal.
The Department of Marine Microbiology of CEME carries out
research on the activity and ecophysiology of micro-organisms in
coastal ecosystems in relation to the steep physical and chemical
gradients by which these environments is characterized. The aim of
the research is to elucidate the regulation of growth, productivity
and functional diversity of marine micro-organisms, and their complex
interactions with biogeochemical and physical processes. The
department comprises approximately 20 people. It has at its disposal
a fully equipped molecular ecological laboratory in which several
projects are currently carried out. In the department is a position
vacant for a
Molecular biologist / molecular ecologist / microbiologist m / f
(vacancy number: CEME-MM-03053)
with a PhD, for research on the functional diversity in communities
of marine micro-organisms
Information: the successful candidate is expected to develop an
independent line of research in order to investigate the functional
diversity of micro-organisms by using a molecular-genetic approach.
The research will focus both on natural ecosystems (benthic and
pelagic) as well as on organisms isolated from them. He/she shall
lead molecular biological research in the department. The candidate
shall collaborate with the groups of molecular ecology in both other
NIOO centres. The candidate shall be active in the acquisition of
externally financed research.
Requirements: we are looking for an enthusiastic and creative
colleague with a PhD in molecular biology, molecular ecology or
microbiology with interest in the microbial ecology of
estuarine/marine ecosystems. Experience with molecular biological
techniques is a prerequisite, apparent from relevant publications in
international scientific journals. Acquaintance with DNA
micro-arrays, (environmental) genomics, proteomics and other modern
techniques is desirable. The successful candidate is a good team
player and capable of networking in- and outside NIOO.
Salary: Depending on age and experience, maximum =A4 4.506,-
gross, excluding 8% holiday allowance, on full-time basis (scale 12,
CAO-OI). NIOO offers extensive secondary benefits.
Contract: temporary for one year with a prospect of fixed tenure
after proven suitability.
Place of work: Yerseke
Information: Dr. Lucas J. Stal, Head of Department Marine
Microbiology, phone: +31 113 577497 or +31 113 577300, e-mail:

Application: Applicants should send their written application with
curriculum vitae, mentioning the vacancy number to the Management
Assistant, NIOO-Centre of Estuarine and Marine Ecology, P.O.Box 140,
4400 AC Yerseke, the Netherlands
