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  
interested or have questions, e-mail jreimer at sci.u-ryukyu.ac.jp
