I am writing to direct your attention to a job announcement that appeared
in the Sept 4 issue of Science (see below). We are seeking scientists
using creative approaches to *any* aspect of plant molecular evolution.
The Plant Biology Program at the University of Massachusetts is in the
midst of an exciting period of growth, so this opportunity should not be
overlooked.

PLANT MOLECULAR EVOLUTION
The Biology Department (http://www.bio.umass.edu/biology) and the Plant
Biology Graduate Program are reopening the search for a tenure track
position in the area of plant evolutionary processes. Candidates, who
should have post-doctoral experience, are expected to contribute to
undergraduate and graduate teaching and develop a vigorous, externally
funded research program. This second position in molecular evolution, and
the recent acquisition of DNA sequencing facilities, reflects the
Department's commitment in this area. Please submit curriculum vitae, a
brief statement of research and teaching interests, and three letters of
reference to: S. Capistran, Plant Biology Program Manager, Plant Evolution
Search, Department of Biology, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA
01003-5810. Email: capistran at bio.umass.edu. Reviews of applications will
begin on October 15, 1998, and continue until the position is filled.
The University of Massachusetts is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity
