=20 The Division of Integrative Biology at the University of South Florida invites applications for two post doctoral positions in conservation biology. One of these positions is fully funded and funding for the second is pending. The funded position is to conduct research on Plestiodon (Neoseps) reynoldsi, the sand skink, at Archbold Biological Station in Lake Placid, Florida. This research is designed to determine the relationship between fire and abundance of the sand skink. The sand skink research project started in January 2007 and will continue for a total of three years. The position will become available in December 2007. The successful candidate will reside in Lake Placid for at least several months each year. The second position will be to conduct research on Plestiodon (Eumeces) egregious lividus, the bluetail mole skink at approximately 15 study sites along the Lake Wales Ridge in Central Florida. If funded, this position will become available in October 2007 and will continue for two years. Because both of these research projects have a strong seasonal component, the opportunity exists to teach a specialty course at the Tampa Campus during the fall semester.
