I will need the person from the third week in January to the end of March. I can offer housing and board but I can NOT pay for airfare to Israel (It appears that tickets are approx. $800 through discount brokerages). I may be able to afford a small salary i.e. $50-60 /week (sorry it is so small but I am only a PhD student and I only received a small grant). This is the beginning of the third year of an ongoing study. I have hired 3 other people off the internet before, and if and when we get farther in the seleciton process, I can always put you in contact with them. The work will consist of doing large scale dispersal studies on a terrestrial isopod. We will also be working with a weather balloon and either a 35mm camera or video camera to take remote sensed images. The weather will be cooler in the winter time and there will be some rainy days (yes, it rains in the desert). We will be putting in long days and the hiking may be strenuous at times. At least five days of work will be expected. Depending on religous prefernces I can be flexible about which days are off (nothing runs on sat. in Israel). I know this doesn't sound very fun but it would be a good opportunity to get field experience and some experience with ecological field studies, using electronic surveying equipment, and perhaps some GIS work (and you get room and board in Israel with the opportunity to explore on weekends. We will be relatively close to everything you might want to see, Israel is a small country). If you have any questions feel free to contact me through e-mail (it is the easiest and quickest method to get in touch with me). I can be somewhat flexible on the start date but the ending date is pretty firm. I hope to hear from someone soon. (I am a fun guy and can provide many hours of interesting conversation in the field, so that should be reason enough to want to help me out, right?) Thanks for your interest and sorry about the cross-posting. Sincerely, Steven Pousty sip94001@uconnvm.uconn.edu Dept. of Ecology and Evol. Biology Univ. of Conn.

The project focuses on the human thrombin receptor. The thrombin receptor is activated by thrombin cleavage of the receptor exodomain and exposure of an N-terminal tethered ligand that binds to the body of the receptor. Receptor activation precipitates complex signaling events culminating in platelet aggregation, wound healing, and cellular proliferation. We have recently discovered that plasmin can efficiently remove the N-terminal ligand by cleavage at three downstream sites in the C-terminus of the exodomain. Current studies are in progress to determine whether this novel proteolytic shut-down mechanism occurs in vivo. Other ongoing projects include NMR structural studies of the thrombin receptor exodomain complexed with extracellular loops and the mechanism of substrate-assisted domain cleavage by thrombin. Insight into the molecular interactions between the exodomain and the body of the receptor should provide leads for the development of novel anti-thrombotic agents. The laboratory is located within the Center of Hemostasis and Thrombosis Research, a modern, state-of-the-art facility with a staff of 20 investigators including technical support.

The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. If you can not find an answer to your question in this or other documentation, the BIOSCI technical support staff answers e-mail queries sent to biosci-help@net.bio.net We can only answer questions about the use of the newsgroups and mailing lists. We unfortunately do not have the staff to do Internet information searches or answer scientific questions. Please post those to the appropriate BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. Contents: -------- 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 0) BIOSCI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!! ------------------------------ BIOSCI's government funding has been expended, and we are now operating solely from advertising revenue that we have raised from our Web site at http://www.bio.net/. We need just a few minutes of your time to help us serve you. You can do two important things which will take very little time for you individually and will immensely help us continue to help you. First, please use our WWW system at http://www.bio.net/ to access the archives. You can post or reply to messages via your Web browser as described in item #1 below. Your usage helps attract sponsors. If you contact any of our sponsors, please be sure to thank them for supporting BIOSCI. It is critical for them to get this feedback if they are to continue their sponsorship for the long term. Second, if you work for a company or organization that provides products or services of interest to the biology community, please pass this message on to your marketing or marketing communications department or other appropriate group. Please ask them to help support BIOSCI by sponsoring our Web site and explain the uses and benefits of the system to the biology community. If they are interested, they can then contact us for further information at our tech support address, biosci-help@net.bio.net. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.

In addition, two M.D.'s and three Ph.D.'s are Instructors in the department's teaching program. The Department serves about 400 undergraduate majors in three major areas of interest: ecology/evolutionary biology, pre-professional studies, and general biology. About 1,500 students per year take the department's General Education Biology course (with lab). The department offers several large service courses for health science students. About 25 students are currently enrolled in the department's MS program. The department's faculty are dedicated to quality teaching. The candidate's teaching responsibilities will include a new introductory course in Neuroscience, contribution to the lower division curriculum, and upper division electives or graduate courses in the candidate's area of specialty. Most of the faculty are actively engaged in research, and the candidate is expected to maintain an active research program. Funding sources of current faculty have included NSF, NIH, American Heart Association, National Park Service, USDA, EPA, and various state and local agencies. The Department of Biology is housed in Lewis Science Center, which contains over 100,000 ft2, including about 40,000 ft2 which is being renovated with NSF and university support to provide additional teaching and research space for the department. Two current NSF-ILI grants are contributing to further improvement in our equipment base for teaching and research. We have a large greenhouse and hope to double greenhouse space in the near future. Every faculty member has a computer and laser printer, and has ethernet and optical fiber access to mainframe, library, internet, WWW, etc. Multiple computer stations are employed in Cell Biology and Physiology courses, and are being integrated into the freshman Biology I and II sequence. Our department strives to maintain the kind of rich collegial environment where students at all levels feel comfortable and welcome to explore freely through the various subdisciplines of modern biology. Collaboration and cooperation are the rule, and a supportive departmental atmosphere is the result. Conway is a prosperous small city of 35,000 with two small private colleges in addition to The University of Central Arkansas. Living here means easy access to both a large urban center (Little Rock is 30 minutes away) and pristine wild areas such as the Buffalo National River, and the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains. The area affords opportunities for canoeing, fishing, and hunting, and is also rich in art, handicraft, and folk culture. Applicants should forward a curriculum vita, statements of teaching philosophy and research plans, and the names of three references by February 4, 1997 to Dr. Paul Hamilton, Department Chairperson, at the address above. This position is contingent upon funding, however the outlook is very optimistic.

We are characterizing origins of replication that we have identified in human rDNA (Mol. Cell. Biol., 13:6600, 1993). Targeted integration mediated by homologous recombination will be used to modify chromosomal origins and to determine the sequences critical for origin function. Other projects include the role of the Locus Control Region (LCR) in the regulation of replication of globin and immunoglobulin gene loci. The spatial and temporal organization of DNA replication in mammalian nuclei is also being studied. Supported by NIH funding for at least three years.
