POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP.  We seek a recent Ph.D. to join an international 
research team investigating  evolutionary variation in thermal tolerance and 
heat-shock protein expression among and within natural populations of 
Drosophila in Israel.  This is a multidisciplinary investigation including 
field (dye-marking and recapture studies of wild Drosophila, measurements of 
larval microclimates) and laboratory (quantitative Hsp measurements by 
ELISA, thermotolerance determinations, PCR, sequencing, QTL mapping, 
gel-shift assays) components, and supported by a 3-year grant from the 
Binational Science Foundation of Israel and USA.  The ideal candidate will 
have expertise in as many of the above techniques as possible, be willing to 
learn the remainder, and be fluent in English.  Research will be conducted 
in the laboratories of Abraham Korol (Institute of Evolution, University of 
Haifa, Israel), Martin Feder (University of Chicago, USA), and in "Evolution 
Canyon" (Lower Nahal Orem, Israel) with Korol, Feder, and Jerry Coyne 
(University of Chicago, USA).  The postdoctoral fellow will travel between 
Israel and Chicago, spending portions of the year in each, and be supervised 
jointly by Korol and Feder.  Initial appointment for 1 year; potentially 
renewable for 2 additional years.  Starting annual salary approximately 
US$17,000.  Start date: February 2000 or as negotiated.   Appointment will 
be administered through the University of Haifa, Israel.  To apply, email or 
mail curriculum vitae, description of technical expertise, and
