POSTDOCTORAL OR TECHNICIAN'S POSITION IN TEMPORARY POOL ECOLOGY

        We are searching for a postdoc or technician beginning mid-late
spring 1998 or as soon as possible to participate in a project which uses
temporary pools to study: 1) food web ecology; 2) mosquito population
dynamics; 3) conservation problems, particularly of amphibians.   We are
particularly interested in:  1) independent and interactive effects of
predators on community structure; 2) effects of controphic species on
mosquitoes; 3) bottom-up effects; 4) predation risk and oviposition habitat
selection.

        Funding comes from a U.S.-Israel Bi-national Science Foundation
grant awarded to Dr. Leon Blaustein (Haifa University, Israel) and Prof.
Joel E. Cohen (Rockefeller University, New York, USA).  Funds for
approximately 18-20 months are available.  The position is through Haifa
University in northern Israel.  Though we shall also consider theoretists,
priority will be given to field ecologists.

        Candidates should send curriculum vitae and arrange that three
letters of recommendation be sent through e-mail and/or regular mail to:
