JOB ANNOUNCEMENT -- 5 POSITIONS FOR WOLF STUDY

The University of Idaho and the Idaho Cooperative Fish and Wildlife
Research Unit have been awarded a grant from the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service to conduct a feasibility study on the reintroduction
of gray wolves to Olympic Peninsula.  This project has a completion
date of 30 August.  Thus, we have an immediate need to hire a research
team.  This study will analyze and evaluate existing information, but
some new data may be collected during assessment of potential wolf
habitats and prey populations.

In the next 4-6 weeks we will hire 5 people; 1 at the Post-Doc
level, and 4 people with M.S. degrees.  All individuals must be able
to report to Moscow, Idaho by approximately 15 May 1998.  The Post Doc
will be hired for 5 months @ $18/hr with total compensation of
$14,400.  The M.S.-level individuals will be hired for 3.5 months @
$14/hr with total compensation of $7,840.

The most important qualification for employment will be an ability to
comprehend and synthesize literature and other factual information
quickly, and to clearly and effectively write topic reports with short
deadlines.  We seek individuals with a background in two or more of
the following areas:  habitat and landscape ecology, behavioral
ecology, canine ecology, ungulate ecology, predator-prey
relationships, conservation biology, disease, computer and statistical
applications, GIS, sociology of natural resources, and socio-economic
analysis.

This will be a "de novo" study; i.e., "participants must be impartial
regarding the ultimate decision of wolf reintroduction, and must not
have expressed a position on wolf reintroduction which would indicate
an inability to be impartial."

Because of the short time period for initiation and completion of this
project, we solicit your help with identification of potential
applicants for the 5 positions described above.  Please feel free to
post this information or give it to possible candidates. For
additional information candidates may contact John Ratti
(208-885-7741, email jratti@uidaho.edu) or Mike Scott (208-885-6960,
email mscott@uidaho.edu).

Applicants should submit an application letter and formal resume with
names and telephone numbers of 3 references as soon as possible to:
