The Rudolf lab at Rice University (http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~volker.rudolf/ ) is looking for a technician, effective immediately (position open until filled). Duties will include both labwork and fieldwork on two separate projects in community ecology that examine 1) the role of functional diversity for ecosystem functioning and 2) the impact of global climate change on community dynamics and ecosystems processes. Candidates should have B.A./B.S. in biology and some hands-on field and/or lab experience. Training will be provided, but experience with working in aquatic systems is a bonus. The position is classified as full-time, temporary (6-24 months). This position would be an excellent fit for someone planning on graduate study in ecology & evolutionary biology, as there will be the opportunity to gain experience in a number of research areas and to co-author papers. Please send a resume and contact information for three references by email ([email protected]) or by post (V. Rudolf, Dept. of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, MS 170, Rice University, Houston TX, 77005).
