The fieldwork for the project will be at the Nevada Desert FACE Facility (NDFF). The successful applicant must be capable of field work at desert field sites for extended periods. A Ph.D. in ecology or related field is required by the starting date. Knowledge and experience with stable isotopes, soil N and C transformations, or trace gas analysis is desirable. To apply please send an application letter with professional interests, research experience and goals, CV, reprints, and names, addresses, and E-mail addresses of three references to Dr. R. Dave Evans, School of Biological Sciences, Washington State University, Pullman, WA, 99164. Applications may also be sent by E-mail to redevans@wsu.edu. Review of applications will begin 1 April. *************************** R.

We anticipate hiring a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to integrate data from a large-scale snow manipulation experiment with Life Table Response Experiment models (LTREs), and Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs). The overall goal of the project is to better understand how climate change will impact plant recruitment and ecotonal shifts for snow-dominated arid ecosystems. The successful candidate will work in collaboration with Michael E. Loik (UC Santa Cruz), Daniel F. Doak (Univ. Wyoming) and Ronald P. Neilson (US Forest Service, PNW Research Station). The succesful candidate will be based in Santa Cruz, CA; the position will require extensive travel between Santa Cruz, Mammoth Lakes CA, Laramie WY, and Corvallis OR. Experience with programming in C required. Prior experience in population biology, biogeographic modeling, or climate change ecophysiology would be valuable. The earliest anticipated start date is 1 July 2007, and could potentially continue for 2.5 years. To apply please send an application letter with professional interests, research experience and goals, CV, reprints, and names, addresses, and E-mail addresses of three references to Dr. Michael E. Loik, Dept. of Environmental Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA 95064. The position is contingent upon final approval of funding. Michael E.
