Hi there folks- turns out Aussie universities are looking for new people! Are you based in the US, tenured (is that what you call a continuing position?) and feel like the lure of the southern hemisphere is calling you? Happy to take questions :)

‘Graveyard of corals’ found after extreme heat and cyclones hit northern Great Barrier Reef
Marine scientists say one area around Cooktown and Lizard Island had lost more than a third of its live hard coral after bleaching event Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Reefs across the north of the Great Barrier Reef have seen “substantial losses” of coral cover after a summer of extreme heat, two cyclones and major flooding, according to the first results of surveys from government marine scientists.
