Any starving botanists out there??
This week’s biology job is an excellent post-doc opportunity in a rather excellent location…
The University of the West Indies has campuses on several of the Caribbean Islands; this post-doctoral position will be based in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
The Environmental Management Authority of Trinidad and Tobago has contracted the University of the West Indies to conduct a biological survey of the ASESA (the Aripo Savannas Environmentally Sensitive Area). The ASESA is one of the first Environmentally sensitive areas to be declared in Trinidad and Tobago.. The Survey is to be carried out with the participation of the local communities around the ESA and the Forestry Division of Trinidad and Tobago, and will concentrate on the flora of the area, in particular vegetation community responses to disturbance such as fire, population dynamics of a native palm, autecology of plant species of conservation concern (3 species are recorded as endemic to the ASESA) and possibilities of propagation and ex-situ conservation of species of conservation concern.
