Greetings fellow coral listers:
The Molecular Invertebrate Systematics and Ecology (MISE) Lab at the
University of the Ryukyus in Okinawa, Japan is actively seeking post-

The fellowships are provided by the Japan Society for the Promotion of
Science through overseas nominating authorities, primarily for
researchers from countries in Europe, Oceania, and North America.
Priority will be given to research projects investigating the ecology,

invertebrates. MISE offers a great location in subtropical Okinawa
with many field opportunities, and a clean and new lab. If you are
