Behavioral Ecotoxicology Position
Professors Dan Cristol and John Swaddle of the
Department of Biology at the College of William &
Mary seek applications for an open position in
Behavioral Ecotoxicology. The position is open to
candidates possessing a relevant bioscience graduate
degree (MS or PhD) and a sincere desire to study the
behavioral ecological effects of mercury
contamination in songbirds. We are looking for
someone with experience in ecotoxicology, ecology,
and captive wildlife experimentation; and with
strong quantitative and writing skills. The position
is open for an initial two-year period (with the
possibility of renewal for two additional years) and
offers competitive salary and benefits.
The successful candidate will join a dynamic
behavioral ornithology group and oversee a three
species mercury dosing experiment to examine
behavioral and physiological consequences of
long-term mercury contamination. The candidate will
collaborate with undergraduate and graduate students
to develop an integrated research program under the
guidance of the two PIs. There will also be
opportunities to gain classroom teaching experience
if desired.
Review of applications begins March 15, 2009 and
will continue until an appointment is made. Submit
by email as one document (to dacris AT wm.edu) a
letter of application, curriculum vitae, and contact
information for three professional referees.

XXII IBAC Conference - 1st call for papers
14-18 September, 2009
Lisbon, Portugal
Submission and early registration deadline: May, 10th
The 22nd International Conference of the International Bioacoustics
Council (IBAC) will be held from 14-18 September 2009 at Calouste
Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, Portugal. Following the tradition
established over 35 years ago, the IBAC meeting fosters interactions
among scientists interested in the factors that regulate sound
production in animals. Moreover, IBAC meetings aim to bring together, in
informal settings, biologists from different specialists (ethologists,
physiologists, taxonomists, etc) with engineers, sound archivists and
amateur sound recordists, to foster discussion and exchange of ideas.
The scientific program will be composed of sessions of invited speakers
integrated with contributed short talks and poster presentations.
Please visit the conference website at http://www.ibac.info/xxii_lisboa/
Many thanks

Michigan State University seeks a dynamic leader with significant
museum experience to serve as director of its AAM-accredited natural
history and cultural museum. Founded in 1857 as part of the
university’s land-grant mission, the MSU Museum (hereafter the
“Museum”) serves university and world-wide academic communities,
scholars and public audiences through collections, research,
exhibitions, public programs and services.
The new director will demonstrate a strong commitment to the Museum’s
mission of research, scholarship and public engagement, provide sound
management and fiscal direction, and balance the unique needs and
interests of multiple constituencies. The new director will obtain
extramural funding, and strengthen university investment in support of
scholarship, technology, education, exhibition and distance learning
activities of the Museum. The new director will enhance collaborations
between the MSU Museum, other academic units and other organizations
where they intersect with teaching, research, exhibits, and public
programs.
The MSU Museum has significant cultural and natural history
collections that include approximately one million specimens and
objects in Anthropology, Vertebrate Natural History, Folk Arts and
History. The Museum is comprised of 32 full and part-time
administrative, faculty, curatorial and support staff. In addition to
the public museum building, which contains natural history
collections, exhibits and office space, collections are housed in
three other campus buildings. The Museum's collections are accessible
through multiple national electronic databases. The staff is engaged
in exhibition development, which includes a traveling exhibition
service. They are involved locally, nationally and internationally in
research, scholarship, the development of collections and electronic
access to collections data. Staff also works with diverse communities
in research and programming. The MSU Museum is a Smithsonian
Affiliate, CITES-registered, and designated an anchor organization of
the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs. More information
