               POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH APPOINTMENTS
                           IN ECOLOGY

The Terrestrial Ecology Division of the University of Puerto Rico
invites applications for two Post-Doctoral Research Appointments
in:

LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY/GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS

To conduct studies of the affect of large-scale disturbance on
the structure of tropical rain forest at a variety of spatial and
temporal scales.  The successful applicant will be expected to
combine skills in GIS/remote sensing technologies with knowledge
in a field such as ecology, forestry, or geostatistics to develop
a research program that focuses on the processes that structure
tropical forests.

INVERTEBRATE POPULATION ECOLOGY

To develop a research program that complements ongoing studies of
population and community dynamics of plants and animals and
addresses the importance of invertebrates in ecosystem processes.
The successful applicant will have a broad knowledge of
invertebrate biology and a strong background in ecology.
Experience in tropical ecosystems would be useful.



The initial term of these appointments is two years, with the
possibility of extension for a longer period.  Both successful
candidates will participate in studies of forest ecosystems in
connection with the Luquillo Experimental Forest Long-Term
Ecological Research (LTER) Program.

The Terrestrial Ecology Division is a research branch of the
University of Puerto Rico dedicated to the study of tropical
ecosystems.  The eight scientists of the Division split their
time between the El Verde Field Station in the Luquillo Mountains
and the laboratory/administrative unit in San Juan.  While the
principal research focus of the Division is on the Luquillo
Experimental Forest, investigations in both terrestrial and
aquatic habitats have recently been carried out by Division
scientists in Jamaica, Hispaniola, Cuba, the Bahamas, and Costa
Rica, as well as a number of sites in Puerto Rico.

Applicants should send a statement of research interests, three
letters of reference, and a curriculum vitae by October 30, 1992,
to:

Dr. Robert B. Waide
Terrestrial Ecology Division
GPO Box 363682
San Juan, PR 00936
