WED DECEMBER 3, 4:00 p.m. (last seminar this term) BRUCE LOURIE, Executive Director, The Richard Ivey Foundation "MERCURY IN THE ENVIRONMENT: THE SCIENCE-POLICY INTERFACE IN STANDARD-SETTING" ************************************************************************ CALL FOR PAPERS Members of the Faculty of Arts and Science (faculty, visitors, adjuncts, emeriti, postdocs, grad students, undergrads) may be interested in submitting manuscripts for consideration in a future expanded edition of "Landscapes of the Heart" -- one that would cross the boundaries of ecology, economics, culture, the social sciences, health, law, philosophy and literature. Individuals already involved include E.O. Wilson, Noam Chomsky, Maurice Strong, David Cash (Kennedy School of Government, Harvard), Stephen Schneider (Stanford), Lee Gass (UBC; recent winner of 3M Award as "Professor of the Year"), and Stephen Kellert (Forestry, Yale). Background to the existing edition can be found by clicking on the URL below (see bottom of this email). Guidelines for the new edition are under development, and will be sent to interested persons later this winter. Please forward this message to appropriate mailing lists and/or to interested individuals. Students are VERY welcome in this project, for I believe they have had experiences (and thus have a perspective) quite different from that of previous generations of scholars. Thank you.

The successful applicant will join a team of scientists on a project funded by the United States Forest Service (USFS) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As part of the EPA=92s Regional Vulnerability Assessment (ReVA) program, this team will quantify broad-scale habitat patterns in the Southeastern United States and assess the vulnerability of existing habitats to environmental stressors (urban development, air and water pollution, toxics, fragmentation, and others). Multi-species habitat assessment will involve regional analyses that capture broad changes in condition, function, and composition. The team will then work with other EPA scientists to assess where high-quality habitats are likely vulnerable to future changes in landscape condition.=20 <bold>Qualifications:</bold> Required background:=20 1) B.S. or B.A. in Geography, Wildlife Biology, or closely = related field. 2) Experience and skill in using GIS software. 3) Desire to study regional patterns of habitat condition, and an understanding of basic Geographic and Landscape Ecology principals. 4) Ability to work independently as part of a larger team with = general guidance. 5) Strong written and oral communication skills. <bold>Compensation: </bold>The successful candidate will receive an annual stipend of $18,000 per year plus a tuition waiver.
