The Smithsonian Institution, the world's largest museum and research comple=
x, offers several Postdoctoral Fellowships annually to outstanding early ca=
reer scientists.  The Smithsonian's distinctive combination of field resear=
ch facilities, museum archives, and expertise in ecology, biological conser=
vation, systematics, and paleobiology provides opportunities for synthetic,=
 big-picture insights into some of the most profound issues challenging our=
 world today, including habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species.

active impacts of multiple global change factors on populations, communitie=
s, and ecosystems, including climate change, biological invasions, biodiver=
sity loss, nutrient loading, trace element pollution, and habitat alteratio=
n.  Insights gained in these studies will be crucial to developing science-=
based conservation plans that allow human societies to thrive while protect=
