: An 18 month postdoctoral fellowship commencing January 1, 2001 will be
: offered by the Division of Marine Mammal Research and Conservation,
Harbor
: Branch Oceanographic Institution (HBOI), Ft. Pierce, Florida. The
Division
: of Marine Mammal Research and Conservation has multifaceted programs
: involving marine mammal strandings, manatee rescue and rehabilitation,
: free-ranging bottlenose dolphin photo identification and broad research
: investigating the pathologic basis of disease in marine mammals. The
HBOI
: Marine Mammal Stranding Center provides temporary or long-term care for
: various marine mammal species. Animals which can be treated
successfully
: are rehabilitated, released and typically monitored post-release via
: telemetry devices. Collaborative programs in medicine exist with the
Miami
: Seaquarium and marine mammal facilities in Mexico, Belize, Argentina, and
: Brazil. Pathologic studies involve the gross and histopathologic
: characterization of diseases in marine mammals with special emphasis on
the
: effects of biotoxins in these species. Collaborative programs in
pathology
: exist with the Wildlife and Avian Laboratory, Division of Comparative
: Pathology, Department of Pathology, University of Miami School of
Medicine,
: Miami, Florida. An opportunity is also available for the postdoctoral
: fellow to interact with the Division of Aquaculture at HBOI, which has
: intensive programs in clam, shrimp and tropical fish aquaculture.
:
: An original research project, the results of which will be written for
: publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, is required for
: successful completion of this program. In addition, the postdoctoral
fellow
: will be responsible for coordinating marine mammal rescues, handling all
: aspects of clinical care for marine mammal patients, and completing
: necropsies with the supervision of the HBOI marine mammal staff.
Follow-up
: histopathologic tissue evaluations will be done with the resident
: comparative pathologist or at the University of Miami School of Medicine.
:
: Applicants must possess a D.V.M. or equivalent degree. Selection of the
: successful applicant will be based on a combination of academic, relevant
: interest and experience, and an assessment of the candidate's career
goals
: and objectives. The stipend is currently $27,072 annually, and the
