Note from Sue Weiler: Did you know that introverts tend to have more
trouble learning names than extroverts? Maybe that explains my
problem--or maybe it is premature (nearing mature) senility. In any
case, names are important and here are some great tips on how to do
better if, like me, you have trouble:
Teaching Tip: Learning Student Names by Joan Middendorf, Director,
Teaching Resource Center, Indiana University, `Though learning
student names may seem a trivial matter in the entire university
enterprise, it is a powerful means to foster both of these
interactions.` Here are some tips for learning student names.

Jobs for PhDs
Postdoc opening, Utah State University
We are seeking a postdoctoral student to: (1) study nutrient and
selenium processing in wetlands of the Great Salt Lake, and (2) teach
wetland/riparian ecology. The extensive wetlands bordering the Great
Salt Lake are important habitat for shorebirds and waterfowl. The
wetlands include managed impoundments of federal and state agencies,
private duck clubs, and unmanaged saline playas. In addition to
providing important habitat, the wetlands are also likely important
filters for contaminants reaching the Great Salt Lake. The
University and State are interested in how much selenium may
accumulate in the biota in the wetlands, the chemistry of other
metals such as mercury, and how effective the wetlands are for
removing metal and nutrient contaminants before reaching the lake.
The employee will work closely with the Utah Division of Water
Quality, other agencies, and environmental groups addressing
contaminant movement through wetlands and into the lake. The
agency's offices and laboratories are in Salt Lake City.
The postdoctoral position will be in the Department of Aquatic,
Watershed, and Earth Resources in the College of Natural Resources at
Utah State University. The University is located in Logan, UT,
situated in a mountain valley 90 miles north of Salt Lake City. The
postdoctoral student will teach a one-semester course in wetland and
riparian ecology. This will be a combined upper division/graduate
level course.
The position is currently for one year, but additional grants
may extend this period. We will begin reviewing applicants on
February 10th and continue until the position is filled. We hope to
fill the position by April 2004. Individuals with expertise in
food-web dynamics, chemistry, and toxicology of wetlands are
encouraged to apply. Please mail or e-mail a letter of interest,
your curriculum vitae, and arrange to have three letters of reference
sent to:
