Paleonet: research fellowships in coral reef studies

[Sean Connolly]

Hi all:

Please see the announcement below. The search 
committee for "Understanding and Managing Coral 
Reef Biodiversity" is interested in receiving, 
and will certainly consider, applications with a paleontological bent.

Please note the tight time frame -- I had some 
difficulty getting myself organized to post to 
this list. If you are very keen to apply, but are 
concerned about making Friday's deadline, please contact me directly.

Regards,
Sean Connolly
