Date: Sat, 16 May 1998 08:34:55 -0500 From: "Dr. Edward Proffitt"Subject: Genetic Ecology Tech Job Full-time position available: Biology and Environmental Science Technician We have an immediate opening for an EPA-funded Biological Technicianship in Plant Genetics at the Louisiana Environmental Research Center, McNeese State University. Minimum requirements include a Bachelor's Degree in Biology, Environmental Science, or a related field. Funding for this position is available through August 31, 2000, with the possibility extension. The ideal candidate will be expected to assist in the design and execution of experiments to determine genetic variability in salt marsh plant populations threatened by environmental contaminants. Both field and laboratory experience are essential; a working knowledge of coastal wetland ecology is highly desirable. Limited computer skills are also required; i.e., the ability to use a word processor and a spreadsheet. Field work will consist of identifying and sampling various plant populations in coastal southwestern Louisiana. The technician will extract DNA from sample leaf material, and will assist in the use of various PCR-based techniques such as RAPDs (random amplification of polymorphic DNA) and AFLPs (amplified fragment length polymorphisms). For further information contact Drs. Robin Lowenfeld, Steve Travis (318 475-5257) or Ed Proffitt (318 475-3062). Application should include a letter of interest, resume and names and phone numbers of three references. Send to Dr. Thomas Wheeler, McNeese State University, P.O. Box 90655, Lake Charles, LA 70609 or call 1-800-622-3352 ext. 5257 (or ext. 5121) for additional information. Applications accepted until position is filled.

Project Description for EARTH SCIENCES INTERN -- Menlo Park, California -- Project Number 000648 DESCRIPTION/TITLE OF PROJECT: The U.S. Geological Survey is conducting research to better understand the transport of sediment and pollutants along the continental margin offshore Los Angeles, California. This research includes the acquisition of large quantities of available geologic, environmental, oceanographic, and biologic data; the acquisition of new data through marine operations and laboratory analysis; and the synthesis and analysis of these data within the context of a geographic information system. A goal of these studies is to provide the public with a better image of the nature of pollution in the seabed near Los Angeles and to provide a database through which policy makers can make decisions regarding future activities that might impact the Southern California marine environment, DEADLINE TO APPLY: May 26, 1998 OBJECTIVES: The objective of the internship is to manage our Los Angeles offshore sediment and pollutant database and to manipulate these data within the context of a geographic information system. A secondary objective is to participate in the acquisition of new data through oceanographic field work (e.g., sediment sampling and seismic-reflection profiling) and limited laboratory studies. SPECIFIC TASKS: 1. Maintain and expand a database of existing geologic, oceanographic, and environmental data for the continental margin offshore Los Angeles, California. 2. Incorporate new data acquired by the USGS and its collaborators into the database. 3. Synthesize and plot data using such Macintosh applications as Excel and Kalidagraph. 4. Enter the data into a GIS (ArcInfo) and develop GIS products. Develop new GIS coverages. 5. Possibly work in sediment laboratory conducting routine analyses such as sediment textural and carbon/carbonate analyses. 6. Participation in marine sediment sampling cruises. BENEFIT: The project will benefit the intern by providing an opportunity to (1) improve database management skills, (2) participate in a large multidisciplinary project to investigate the processes of sediment and pollutant transport in the submarine environment, and (3) improve the intern=s ability to use GIS applications to evaluate geologic processes. The project will enhance the intern=s ability to work independently and meet project goals and deadlines. DURATION: Twelve months, extendible to two years LOCATION: Menlo Park, California SPECIFIC QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED: Bachelor=s degree with GPA of 2.9 or above on 4.0 scale or 30 hours of graduate credit in geology, environmental science, or computer science. Completion of the master*s degree in the same disciplines qualifies for the higher stipend. Experience using personal computers, preferably Macintosh-based. Experience with Geographic Information Systems, preferably using ArcInfo. Ability to carefully record geographic and geologic data and maintain a computer database of recorded information. Ability to work independently following periodic discussions of project objectives with senior (Ph.D.) level scientists. ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATIONS DESIRABLE: 1. Knowledge of marine sedimentation processes. 2. Knowledge of marine ecology and environmental science. 3. Knowledge of sediment laboratory techniques. OVERTIME: Data gathering onboard research vessels or fieldwork away from site for an extended number of days.
