[NHCOLL-L:542] FWD: seeking job in entomology museum

[Doug Yanega]

I'm posting this for a technician in our Museum whose position here is
unfortunately ending soon. Please respond to her directly. Apologies for
the crossposting. As a personal note, I'll add that she is quite a gifted
artist, though she does not emphasize this in her message. Thanks.

Dear Sirs,

I have been working more than 4 years in the laboratory of Dr. J.D. Pinto,
University of California, Riverside and 2 years in UCR Entomology Museum.
My responsibilities are: maintaining insect cultures, and slide-mounting
techniques. I have improved the procedure of transferring specimens
originally mounted in Hoyer's medium to Canada balsam. The method was
published in Entomological News 110(1): 56-64, 1999. Now I am looking for
possibilities to perform similar work for other entomological museums. Also
I have made many illustrations for entomological papers and have much
experience in DNA techniques and cell culture.
I can send my resume and would be happy to receive your answer. My e-mail
address is: planutis at earthlink.net

Sincerely,
Marina Planoutene.

Names of my references are:
