Subject: Research Assitantship in Ecosystem Ecology

Research Assistantship in Ecosystem Ecology
Archbold Biological Station, Lake Placid, Florida

A research assistantship will be available starting October 1, 2000 at the
MacArthur Agro-Ecology Research Center, a division of Archbold Biological
Station in south central Florida.  The center is the site of cooperative
research between Archbold, the University of Florida and the South Florida
Water Management District.  The research assistant will assist with
ecosystem research in the wetlands, grasslands and varied communities
typical of a working cattle ranch in south-central Florida.  Current areas
of emphasis include a large-scale experiment investigating the influence of
cattle management and land use on surface water nutrients, soil nutrient
dynamics, and other ecological characteristics of subtropical grazing lands.
Another newly funded project will investigate cycling of N and P in seasonal
wetlands, storage of N, P and C in wetland sediments and effects of grazing
on wetland productivity.  The successful applicant must have a B.S or M.S.
in ecology, biogeochemistry, soil science or related field.  Familiarity
with field methods for sampling vegetation and soils and laboratory
techniques for measuring nutrient cycling characteristics, such as N
mineralization, denitrification, microbial biomass, or soil organic matter
is desirable.  The position involves rigorous fieldwork under natural
conditions typical of south-central Florida.  The appointment includes a
competitive salary, health benefits, and participation in a retirement
program after the first year.  Review of applications will begin August 15
and continue until the position is filled.  To apply send a CV or resume, a
letter of intent including relevant research or educational experience,
copies of undergraduate and any graduate transcripts, and contact
information for three references to:  Dr. Patrick J. Bohlen, MacArthur
Agro-ecology Research Center, 300 Buck Island Ranch Road, Lake Placid, FL
33852.  Further information on the program can be obtained by contacting Dr.
Bohlen at (863) 699-0242 (e-mail pbohlen@archbold-station.org) or at our
website http://www.archbold-station.org/ABS/maerc/maerc.htm.  Archbold is an
equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from women and
minorities.
