[bcn_evodevo] Postdoc in Barcelona: Chordate.EvoDevo.Genomics

by Cañestro Cristian

University of Barcelona 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.

[bcn_evodevo] CALL FOR STUDENTS: 1st International SUMMER School on Evolution

by AppEEL

Dear Madame, Sir, I would be very much obliged if you could forward this message to your society's members. kind thanks, Nathalie Gontier, PhD Lisbon Applied Evolutionary Epistemology Lab Centre for Philosophy of Science Faculty of Science, University of Lisbon http://appeel.fc.ul.pt 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.
