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
