The Appalachian Laboratory (AL) of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) invites applications for a faculty sabbatical fellowship during the 2011-2012 academic year for candidates who complement our strengths in ecosystem, landscape and/or watershed ecology.

We require at least one semester in residence and one departmental seminar. Selection criteria include academic merit, intention to interact with AL faculty, and likelihood for using AL facilities and/or field sites in the central Appalachians. A modest research stipend to facilitate collaborative research between the fellow and AL faculty has been established. The AL houses excellent research, computing, and teaching facilities that would be available to the fellow; these include plant, soil, water, and molecular analysis laboratories with state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation, a new stable isotope facility, growth chambers, and a greenhouse.

Applicants should submit a CV and a one-page letter of intent of his/her sabbatical and potential to collaborate with AL researchers to porndorff@umces.edu.

Review of applications is ongoing and will continue until the position is filled. More information about AL, located in the central Appalachian region of western Maryland, can be found at http://www.umces.edu/al.
