Postdoc opportunity in sustainable ag at UC Davis

Walt and Jill Auburn (auburn@knight-hub.com)
Mon, 2 Aug 1999 22:49:28 -0400

Saneteers, this is a position working with a great team of folks on
cutting-edge work that I was fortunate enough to have a small hand in during
conception and early infancy...before I left UCD for USDA. Contact Karen
rather than me for details, but take it from me that it's worth considering
for anyone who has the skills noted and an interest in working with some
wonderful people.
