Postdoctoral position: biogeochemistry of coral bleaching

Two-year postdoc position to work on biogeochemistry of coral bleaching 
using pulse-chase isotope labeling experiments.  Analyses include a 
combination of bulk stable isotope and compound-specific lipid isotope 
measurements.  Research includes up to three continuous months of fieldwork 
in Hawaii, several two-week trips back to the field, and intensive 
laboratory analyses.  Candidates must hold a PhD, have experience with 
stable isotope analyses, and relevant fieldwork.  Experience working with 
corals and lipid extractions desirable.  This position is part of a 
collaborative project between Drs. Andrea Grottoli (University of 
Pennsylvania, grottoli at sas.upenn.edu; 
<http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~grottoli/>www.sas.upenn.edu/~grottoli/) and 
Tamara Pease (The University of Texas at Austin, Marine Science Institute, 
tamara at utmsi.utexas.edu; 
<http://www.utmsi.utexas.edu/people/staff/pease.htm)>www.utmsi. 
utexas.edu/people/staff/pease.htm).  Position begins July 1, 2005, 
contingent upon funding.  Please send CV, statement of research interests, 
names and contact information of three references, and copies of two 
publications either by regular mail or electronically to:
Andrea Grottoli, Assistant Professor, Department of Earth and Environmental 
Science, University of Pennsylvania, 240 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, 
PA 19104-6316 OR grottoli at sas.upenn.edu. Applications will be accepted 
until April 25, 2005.  Both the University of Pennsylvania and The
