Hi James,

Mark Schildhauer (schild at nceas.ucsb.edu) is on vacation this week but he
has asked me to notify you of the following job opportunity . Please
help us get the word out to anyone in the LTER community who may be
qualified and interested. Mark will be back as of July 1st, so if there
are any further questions about the position they may be directed to his
email address and he'll respond once he returns.

Would you be so kind as to acknowledge receipt of this message? I'm
afraid that some of the people to whom I'm writing may also be on
vacation at this time of year. Thank you!
