Dear All,

I'm writing to let you know about a potential opportunity here at UCSB for your 
recent (or soon to be) Ph.D. students. I'm advertising for a postdoctoral 
position (see ad below, and attached as Word doc). There are no teaching 
responsibilities. It's mainly an opportunity to participate and publish on 
projects related to human health and life history evolution. Any questions can 
be sent to me directly.

Best,
Mike
