Final call for the ForBio course ”Biosystematics methods and biodiversity”

Dear all,
On behalf of the research school in biosystematics – ForBio – I am sending a reminder about the course ”Biosystematics methods and biodiversity” that will be held July 30 – August 4, 2012 at Skibotn field station, Troms, Norway .
Expertise in collecting natural history specimens, gathering data associated with them, their identification based on morphological characters, and preservation for natural history collections is rapidly disappearing in many countries. This course aims to provide field experience for PhD students and post-docs in biosystematics who want to gain increased knowledge of specimen and data collection, specimen identification, and preservation for taxonomic research.
The registration deadline is June 15, 2012, but please see important registration information at http://www.forbio.uio.no/events/courses/2012/bio8001.html or contact Sergei Drovetski directly at sdr00@uit.no
The course is arranged by the Research School in Biosystematics – ForBio. There is no course fee, and PhD students/postdocs registered at Swedish or Norwegian universities can become ForBio members and will then have their travel and accommodation costs covered. For information about ForBio and its membership, please see http://www.forbio.uio.no/
This course will cover birds, vascular plants, and bryophytes.
Hope to see you at Skibotn, Sergei Drovetski.

ArtDatabanken, SLU, söker taxonom till Program Taxonomi

Arbetsuppgifter: Inskrivning och kvalitetssäkring av vetenskapliga namn, auktorer och svensk förekomst i ArtDatabankens namndatabas Dyntaxa. Uppletande och inskrivning av referenser till bestämningsnycklar.

Kvalifikationer: Grundläggande artkunskaper, god datorvana, god förmåga att korrekturläsa och stor noggrannhet är krav. Biologexamen, goda taxonomiska, faunistiska och/eller floristiska kunskaper om Sveriges arter, kunskaper om den zoologiska och/eller botaniska nomenklaturkoden, god svensk och engelsk språkförmåga samt intresse för listor och katalogisering är meriterande.

ArtDatabanken är en nationell kunskapsbank för information om biologisk mångfald. Ett av våra centrala uppdrag är att sammanställa kunskap om Sveriges djur och växter samt genomföra analyser av populationsstatus och miljötillstånd för den biologiska mångfalden i Sverige. Vi är organiserade i sex s.k. program där Program taxonomi ansvarar för genomförandet av de vetenskapliga delarna av det Svenska artprojektet. En viktig del av detta arbete är uppbyggnad och kvalitetssäkring av namndatabasen Dyntaxa (www.dyntaxa.se), vilken ska innehålla alla arter som påträffats i Sverige.

PhD-student position available at Uppsala University

A PhD-student position is available in fungal systematics, at the Department of Organismal Biology, Uppsala University.

The overall objective of the PhD project is to improve the understanding of speciation and intraspecific differentiation of ascomycete fungi. Using molecular sequence analysis, we will examine whether differentiation within and between closely related species correlate to spatial or ecological factors, estimate species´ niche amplitude and dissemination, and study how the morphological variation correlates with the genetic. The project includes work in the field, museum collections and molecular lab, as well as phylogenetic and population genetic sequence analyses and morphological microscopy studies.

Use the link below for more information about the position or contact Åsa Kruys Asa.kruys@ebc.uu.se, tel: +46 18- 471 2770 or Stefan Ekman Stefan.ekman@em.uu.se, tel: +46 18- 471 2821.
