Subject: Grad Res Asst: Plant-Insect Interactions
Graduate Research Assistantship
Chemical Ecology of Plant-Insect Interactions
University of Wisconsin, Madison
___________________
Graduate research assistantship (M.S. or Ph.D.) available to
pursue research on chemical ecology of interactions between
aspen and aspen-feeding insects. Primary emphasis involves
evaluation of the effectiveness and costs of chemical resistance
factors in aspen against forest insects such as the gypsy moth.
Other interests of the research group include assessment of the
effects of CO2 and O3 on tree chemistry, insect performance,
tritrophic interactions, and litter decomposition.
Advanced degrees(s) may be pursued in either the Dept. of
Entomology or Dept. of Zoology.
For more information, visit the website address in the signature line
below.
Qualifications:
Highly motivated individuals with superior academic
credentials and strong communication skills are encouraged to
apply. Well-developed interpersonal skills are essential.
Stipend/benefits:
50% Research Assistantship currently provides a
$15,042 stipend, complete tuition waiver, and excellent medical
health plan.
Exceptionally well-qualified individuals may be
competitive for a UW fellowship. Application deadline for the
fellowship is Jan. 15, 2000.
Position available beginning Summer or Fall, 2000.

Subject: two jobs in Everglades
Two technician positions are available at Florida International University:
RESEARCH TECHNICIAN POSITION - EVERGLADES SOILS:
The Southeast Environmental Research Center at Florida International
University is seeking a full time research technician to aid in the
collection and processing of soil samples from the Everglades. The research
is a component of several large, multidisciplinary, long-term studies
evaluating the effects of phosphorus on the structure and function of
Everglades marshes. The technician will have two main responsibilities:
(1) collect and process collect soils for nutrient analyses, and (2)
participate in field and laboratory components of studies of below-ground
plant/root production. Qualifications: M.Sc. or B.Sc. with experience;
prior experience in wetland ecology or soil biology desirable; willingness
to work in Everglades marshes necessary. Salary dependent on experience.
Send resume, letter of interest and names of 3 references to: Dr. Jack
Meeder, Southeast Environmental Research Center, Florida International
University, Miami, FL 33199 (meederj@fiu.edu) or to Dr. Evelyn Gaiser, via
e-mail or address below. To find out more about the Southeast Environmental
Research Center see http://www.fiu.edu/~serc
RESEARCH TECHNICIAN POSITION - MANGROVE HYDROLOGY:
The Southeast Environmental Research Centre at Florida International
University is seeking a full time research technician to aid in topographic
and vegetation mapping and hydrologic monitoring of coastal mangroves in
South Florida. The research is part of a larger study that examines
hydrologic change in coastal wetlands of South Florida. The study
incorporates topographic surveys, paleoecology and long-term monitoring to
determine how mangrove wetlands may respond to planned hydrologic
restoration. The technician will participate in field surveys, data entry
and analysis. Qualifications: M.Sc. or B.Sc. with experience; prior
experience with topographic surveying, wetland plant identification and/or
hydrologic modeling desirable; willingness to work in Everglades mangrove
marshes necessary. Salary dependent on experience. Send resume, letter of
interest and names of 3 references to: Dr. Jack Meeder, Southeast
Environmental Research Center, Florida International University, Miami, FL
33199 (meederj@fiu.edu) or Dr. Evelyn Gaiser, via e-mail or address below.
