Dear colleagues, the ichthyologist position at the Field Museum has at last been reopened, at the Assistant Curator level. We are casting a wide net, looking for excellence in many areas of systematics and evolutionary biology. Due to our strengths in neotropical freshwater fishes, applicants from the NIA community are particularly welcome. Thanks for spreading the word. -Mark
