POST-DOC FELLOWSHIP APPLICATIONS
in Chordate Fuctional Evo-Devo and Genomics
University of Barcelona, Department of Genetics
Our group on the field of Functional Evo-Devo and Genomics on
Chordates is looking for candidates to apply for the recently open
calls for intra-European (IEF) and international incoming (IEF) Marie-
Curie and EMBO post-doc Fellowships.
Candidates need to have a highly competitive CV to successfully apply
for the fellowship. Experience in Molecular Genetics, Transgenesis and
Developmental Biology, and (or) Background in Bioinformatics, and
Comparative Genomics will be positively considered.
Our main research interest is to understand the impact of gene losses
on the evolutionary diversification of mechanisms of development in
chordates at the population level. Our work focuses on comparative
approaches between vertebrates (zebrafish), urochordates and
cephalochordates. Our main subject of study is Oikopleura dioica, a
new emergent urochordate model within our own phylum, with the
smallest metazoan genome size known so far, and with an outstanding
amount of gene losses (Denoeud et al., Science, 2010).
Interested candidates, please send an email to Cristian Cañestro (canestro(a)ub.edu
), including a brief letter of interest and a CV in ONE single pdf file.

CALL FOR STUDENTS: 1st International SUMMER School on Evolution
COURSE PROGRAM ONLINE
July 15th - 19th, 2013 | Ciência Viva Knowledge Pavilion, Lisbon, Portugal
Website: http://evolutionschool.fc.ul.pt/summer
About the courses
Module 1: EVOLutionary theory
Courses are taught by: Luís Villarreal, Ilya Tëmkin, Frietson Galis.
Module 2: sociocultural Evolution
Courses are taught by Fiona Jordan, Marion Blute, Nathalie Gontier & Emanuele Serrelli.
Module 3: philosophy of biology
Courses are taught by Derek Turner, Frédéric Bouchard, Michael Ruse.
All courses are taught at a level accessible to Master, PhD and post-doctoral students in the exact, life, human and sociocultural evolutionary sciences. Students of evolutionary biology, evolutionary developmental biology, virology, paleontology, evolutionary linguistics, evolutionary anthropology, and philosophy of biology will especially benefit from these courses.
Students will be provided a mandatory reading list which will form the basis of lectures and discussions. There are neither examinations nor paper assignments.
REGISTRATION FEE
350 euro for the whole week, regardless the number of courses you chose.
HOW TO ENROLL
You can enroll for a specific module (therefore following a 30-hour course on the subject) or you may choose three courses of your specific interest.
About the SUMMER School
The School is organized by the Applied Evolutionary Epistemology Lab of the Centre for Philosophy of Science of the University of Lisbon, in collaboration with Ciência Viva and with the support of the John Templeton Foundation.
