Please if anyone might know of any available position, I would appreciate receiving the info. Thanks, Rivka I'm a Ph.D. student in the field of Pollination Ecology at Tel Aviv University in ISRAEL. My current research is on melon (Cucumis melo) pollination under greenhouse conditions, under the supervision of Prof. Dan Eisikowitch. The research fields are located in the Arava valley, at the south of Israel, in a desert area. I have been working on various issues concerning pollination problems inside the greenhouses, studying both hive functioning and plants reactions to environmental constraints. Some of the issues I was working on recently deal with the question of irrigation and it's effect on nectar secretion and thereby on pollinator activity. One other aspect of greenhouse pollination is the question whether there is enough reward produced, to support the hive placed next to the greenhouse. Some of the results and conclusions in my research have already been adopted by the farmers and are presently practiced by them. My fields of interest are wide and include Pollination Ecology, Vegetation Dynamics as well as Plant Systematics and Evolution. I could be available for work as of January 1997. Languages: I speak, read and write English (fluently) and Spanish (pretty well). I also read and speak a little Italian and French. Of course I speak, read and write Hebrew (mother tongue).
