Subject: Hofstra job posting
The Hofstra University Marine Laboratory (HUML), in St. Ann's Bay,
Jamaica, West Indies, is searching for a pair of qualified persons to run
the laboratory from 1 October 1997 to 31 August 1998 (11 months).
The successful candidates will be responsible for assisting as many as 35
visiting professors with their courses by giving guest lectures to their
classes and accompanying them on field trips. They will also have full
responsibility for teaching 12-day classes of mature persons
(Elderhostels). They will maintain our seawater system and will
participate in our ongoing research program. They will have full
administrative responsibilities, and will be the only Hofstra staff on
site.
HUML will be entering its 18th year and has grown into a major field
station. It consists of a two-story, three-classroom laboratory building,
a wet laboratory building with a circulating seawater system, a
library/equipment building, and a 30-room hotel. The facility is served
by a fleet of three boats, several buses, and a SCUBA shop.
The lab is surrounded by an extraordinary array of habitats, from the
three-kilometer long coral reef just offshore to miles of pristine rocky
shores with extraordinary zonation, to a nearby mangrove swamp. A tiny
island lies just offshore. A short boat ride brings classes to a cave
containing bats, which can be entered only by snorkeling, a sunken
shipwreck, walls of live coral, beautiful, palm-fringed coves, and other
spectacular sites.
This is primarily a teaching facility and the successful candidates should
have teaching skills and a personality appropriate to the jobs. The
salary for the 11-month positions is $6,000 each + all benefits including
an apartment, board, medical insurance, a 12-day training course (in
Jamaica), and airfare. In other words, all expenses are paid and the
total salary may be saved. The positions are usually filled by couples
without children.
For further information send a letter indicating why you believe that you
are of the "star" calibre capable of assuming this major responsibility
