[bcn_evodevo] PhD position in theoretical Evo-devo Helsinki-Barcelona

by Isaac Salazar Ciudad

Dear Colleages, If you know of anybody who may be interested in that position lead him/she know Thanks, Isaac Salazar-Ciudad University of Helsinki, Institute of Biotechnology: PhD position in Evolutionary Biology, Developmental Biology and Systems Biology We are looking for a student, preferably a biologists, to start a grant for a PhD on the interrelationship between the evolution of gene networks, development and the phenotype: - Simulation of the evolution of the genotype-phenotype map of complex organs based on development. or/and - Quantitative study of the patterns of phenotypic variation across ontogeny and phylogeny or/and - Computational models of pattern formation and morphogenesis in animal development One of the current challenges of evolutionary biology is to understand how genetic variation leads to specific morphological variation (the genotype-phenotype map) and how that process affects the direction of morphological change in evolution. Our group is devoted to address this question by using gene network models. Programming skills or a willingness to acquire them is required. The project involves spending some time with collaborators in Barcelona and close collaboration with Jukka Jernvall's group (http://www.biocenter.helsinki.fi/bi/evodevo/index.shtml). The exact topic of the theses would be discussed in detail during interview. of morphological variation. Nature. 2010 Mar 25;464(7288):583-6. The University of Helsinki is a public University that has regularly been ranked among Europe's 10 to 15 best universities on worldwide ranking lists of research universities. Some 470 doctorates are completed annually and nearly 10,000 scientific articles or monographs are published yearly by the university's researchers.

[bcn_evodevo] Fwd: Sign and forward: no-cuts-on-research.eu

by Cañestro Cristian

www.no-cuts-on-research.eu Dear colleagues, The discussions at the next summit of the European Union heads of state or government, which is scheduled for 22 and 23 November, will be decisive in determining the EU research budget for the next seven years. Several Member States are demanding severe cuts on the total EU budget and research will have to compete with other policy priorities. This is a time when we, the scientific community, should act together and make our case to protect research funding, including that of the European Research Council (ERC), from cuts. Decisions will be prepared in discussions among politicians at the national level. All of us must look for opportunities to affect these decisions and send a strong signal to the heads of state or government. An open letter signed by European Nobel laureates has been published in top European newspapers this week. The impact of this letter will be increased if it is followed by a mobilization of the national scientific communities. To keep the momentum going, an online petition has been launched: http://www.no-cuts-on-research.eu I would like to ask you to sign it and to encourage all your colleagues to do likewise. Note that in the past, less than 30 000 scientists signed the largest petition for a European scientific cause compared to the hundreds of thousands of signatures on petitions from other groups of society. We must do better than that. This action is coordinated by the Initiative for Science in Europe (ise(a)i-se.org; www.initiative-science-europe.org), of which EMBO is a member. Please contact Wolfgang Eppenschwandtner, Executive Coordinator of the ISE if you have any questions or suggestions.

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

by Cañestro Cristian

POST-DOC FELLOWSHIP APPLICATIONS in Chordate Fuctional Evo-Devo and Genomics University of Barcelona Department of Genetics Our new group on the field of Functional Evo-Devo and Genomics on Chordates is looking for candidates to apply for forthcoming post-doc FELLOWSHIP from Spanish and European funding programs (see below). Candidates need to have a 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. 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 a brief letter of interest and a CV in ONE single pdf file to Cristian Cañestro (canestro(a)ub.edu) Interested candidates for future POST- or PRE-DOCTORAL applications, please feel free to contact too. For an outline of our group’s research: http://www.ub.edu/genetica/evo-devoen/canestro.htm http://www.uoneuro.uoregon.edu/~cristian/Canestro.html Forthcoming Postdoctoral calls: European Programs: IEF and IIF Marie Curie (open calls - deadline 16-8-2012) http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/page/people EMBO (open call - deadline 15-8-2012) http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/page/people Spanish Programs: Juan de la Cierva (not opened yet) http://www.idi.mineco.gob.es/portal/site/MICINN/ Beatriu de Pinós (not opened yet) http://www10.gencat.cat/agaur_web/AppJava/english/a_beques.jsp?categoria=po…
