For more information about PLE, visit our web site (www.pitt.edu/~biology/pymatuning.htm). The successful instructor should possess a Ph.D. and an excellent knowledge of wetlands. The compensation package includes reimbursement for travel to PLE, room and board in a cabin on the lake, and a 3-week salary of $4,000 to $6,000 (depending on rank, ranging from Post-doc to Full Professor). Interested candidates should send their cv and a list of three references (via e-mail) to Dr. Rick Relyea, Director of the Pymatuning Laboratory of Ecology ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). The deadline for applications is 30 November or until the position is filled. The University of Pittsburgh is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer.
