[Taxacom] Vertebrate curator/postdoc positions

[Michael Sanderson]

Dear colleagues:

We are opening several postdoctoral level vertebrate curator 
positions at the University of Arizona. Please see the ad below.

Vertebrate Systematist/Curator - University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ USA

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology seeks to fill 
postdoctoral level curator positions beginning Fall 2007. We 
anticipate filling three positions over the next two years. The 
positions are part of a renewed investment in natural history 
collections on the University of Arizona campus and a new initiative 
in biodiversity informatics. The holdings of the EEB collections, 
ichthyology, herpetology, ornithology, mammalogy and invertebrates, 
demonstrate a strong taxonomic focus on the fauna of the southwest 
United States, northwest Mexico, the Gulf of California and the 
Eastern Pacific. We seek individuals engaged in collections-enabled 
research. Responsibilities of the positions will include research, 
curation (including participating in database and other informatics 
activities), and may include teaching one course per year in the 
candidate's taxonomic specialty. Salary is $35-40,000 (depending on 
experience) plus benefits. Position is renewable up to three years 
based on satisfactory performance.

Applicants should apply online at the University of Arizona Human 
Resources website (https://www.uacareertrack.com; look for job 
#37205). Position is open until filled, but we anticipate reviewing 
applications beginning on Feb. 26, 2007. Contact Dr. Peter Reinthal 
(pnr at email.arizona.edu) or Dr. Michael Sanderson 
(sanderm at email.arizona.edu) for further information.
