Dear All,
Sorry for the cross posting. The Florida Museum of Natural History is
searching for an Associate/Full Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology –
see the ad below. In addition to the great IP resources at FLMNH, we
also host a large and active collection of Recent invertebrates,
especially mollusks, crustaceans, echinoderms, and cnidarians. The IP
position is one of three currently open (the others are for a
Lepidopterist and a Florida Archaeologist).
Cheers – Gustav
