Dear fellow annelida subscribers,
The benthic monitoring program here at the Environmental Protection
Commission of Hillsborough County (Tampa, Florida U.S.A.) has a
temporary position open for a polychaete taxonomist. We are looking for
someone with some experience working with estuarine polychaetes to
help us catch up on our current backlog of samples. The position is
currently funded through Sept. 2001, with the potential of being extended
for an additional 4-6 months. The pay rate would be $15/hour for 39
hours/week. Further details are below. Unfortunately, since this is a temp.
position there are no benefits being offered and it is unlikely that this
position will be upgraded to a permanent status in the near future.
Interested candidates can contact me at the phone number or email
address below or direct their inquires to Steve Grabe, Environmental
Supervisor at (813) 272-5955 x1201 or grabe at epcjanus.epchc.org.
Thank you
Sincerely,
David J. Karlen
