Greetings fellow coral listers:
The Molecular Invertebrate Systematics and Ecology (MISE) Lab at the
University of the Ryukyus in Okinawa, Japan is actively seeking post-
doctoral fellows for fellowships beginning in the second half of 2009
or 2010. The fellowships are provided by the Japan Society for the
Promotion of Science through overseas nominating authorities,
primarily for researchers from countries in Europe, Oceania, and North
America.
Priority will be given to research projects investigating the ecology,
taxonomy and/or phylogeny of tropical/sub-tropical marine
invertebrates. MISE offers a great location in subtropical Okinawa
with many field opportunities, and a clean and new lab. If you are
