POSITIONS ANNOUNCEMENT
The Department of Human Ecology (DHE) of CINVESTAV-Merida, in Yucatan,
Mexico, studies the interactions between Homo sapiens, ecosystems and
sociocultural systems.
The multidisciplinary staff of the DEH is doing research in two main areas
of human ecology in the Southeast of Mexico:

collapse of the social and cultural ways to perceive, appropriate and
transform the environment, and
· Biological status of the human populations; i.e. the main characteristics
of human growth, development, and behavior. Also the health status of such
populations, as a result of the interaction between sociocultural systems
and nature.
