least a bachelor's degree in science or geography and experience with
ARC/INFO GIS software. Other desirable skills include statistical
analysis (particularly using SAS software), computer programming with
FORTRAN or C, simulation modeling, or remote sensing (particularly with
ERDAS Imagine software).. Background in landscape ecology, ecosystem
ecology, biogeochemistry, nutrient transport, or hydrology would also be
valuable. These positions are funded by grants from EPA, NOAA, and the
Smithsonian Institution. Salary $22,208-$33,650 depending on
qualifications. Send resume, graduate and undergraduate transcripts
(photocopies are fine), and three letters of reference by November 22,

I had intended to send this to the entire list originally. Of
course, if the moderator feels it is inappropriate, his keeping it
off the list is not a violation of my free speech rights; the list
is moderated. I can say this elsewhere if I wish.

I'm going to risk political wrath here. Are women under represented, and what
does under represented mean? A majority of undergraduates in biology are
women. Women receive exceptional attention (witness this advertisement). I
recognize that women are still a minority in physical sciences and engineering
graduate programs, and in senior positions in the life sciences. But with the
very large majority enrollments in undergraduate life science programs, how
long will the latter be true? In many life science departments nationally, a
majority of junior faculty members are women. In my department we hired two
assistant professors last year. We had an ample supply of quality
applicants. More were women than men. We hired two women, whom I was
exceedingly pleased to be able to get. I think I was "sex blind" in my
consideration of applicants, and I think my colleagues were also.
Nationally, girls and boys are equally represented in the student population
at the middle school level. But boys complete high school at a much lower
rate than girls, women are "preferred" by the most prestigious universities,
girls graduate from college at a higher rate than boys (and have special
mentoring programs while in college).
Someone please help me out here. I think I may be becoming "politically
incorrect", and I always want to be correct. If boys and men are succeeding
at a lower rate than girls and women, do they have special needs that some
politically correct actions and programs can address (in the sciences --
that's where I work and what this forum is about)?
