Please send your completed application to Professor Judy Jernstedt, Chair, Faculty Advisory Committee, Esau Fellowships Program, Department of Agronomy and Range Science, University of California, Davis, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616. Fellowships will be awarded on an annual basis. The next deadline for this program will be November 1,1999. The University of California is an equal opportunity employer. We seek a broadly trained ecologist with research interests that will complement a well-established grassland ecology program.
Interdisciplinary research is especially encouraged.
A Ph.D. or equivalent is required, and postdoctoral experience is preferred. The Division of Biology is a large and diverse academic unit with an excellent record of research and teaching. Within the Division, there are a number of faculty with research interests related to ecology. The Konza Prairie Natural Research Area, a 3,487 ha tallgrass prairie research site located 10 km from the university, is a focal area for much of this research. As of 1998, over 600 scientific articles and books have been published based on research at Konza Prairie, and over 100 scientists from KSU and elsewhere have active research projects on site.
