[ECOLOG-L] Postdoc: Evolutionary Ecology, University of Iowa

[Andrew Forbes]

The Forbes Lab in the Department of Biology at the University of Iowa is 
seeking a highly motivated evolutionary ecologist with an interest in 
tropical insect diversity and expertise in population genomics for a 2-3 
year postdoctoral position funded by NSF’s Dimensions of Biodiversity 
Program. 

Position Summary:
The aim of the project is to examine patterns of present day and 
historical gene flow among species in the tephritid fruit fly genus 
Blepharoneura and the same for the Bellopius parasitoid wasps that 
attack Blepharoneura flies. These flies and wasps are highly host-
specific, incredibly diverse, and many species often overlap in their 
apparent niche space. A major goal is to understand why these insects 
are so diverse. The postdoc will develop and score double-digest RAD 
markers for several existing fly and wasp collections from across 
Central and South America, use those data to model gene flow and 
migration within each fly and wasp species, and collaborate with other 
project participants to test hypotheses regarding species interactions 
and the origin of reproductive isolation in these hyper-diverse insect 
systems. More information about this system can be found in the 
following two publications:
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/320/5878/928.short
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/343/6176/1240.short

Education required:
•PhD in evolutionary biology or closely related field

Desirable Qualifications:
•Experience developing and working with RAD-based marker system (or 
similar marker system) in non-model organisms
•Strong background in population genetics / genomics
•Interest in diversification, insect evolutionary ecology, insect 
population genomics, or related field
•Interest in working as part of a collaborative research team

Preferred Starting date: September 2016 (negotiable)

Application Deadline: March 15th, 2016 (or until position is filled)

How to apply: send C.V., a letter of inquiry, two representative 
publications (if available), and contact information for three potential 
referees to: andrew-for...@uiowa.edu Informal inquiries or questions 
about the position may also be sent to the same email address.

[ECOLOG-L] Happy 2016 from the Earth Educators' Rendezvous--Registration is Now Open

[Krista G. Herbstrith]

Greetings colleagues- 

Happy 2016! 

We are excited to announce that the meeting registration is now open ( 
http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2016/registration.html ) and the 
topics for morning workshops and afternoon events are finalized ( 
http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2016/program/index.html ). Morning 
workshops require registration and will be filled on a first come first served 
basis. Workshops are interactive with participants learning from one another 
and from experts in formats that build on research-based pedagogies. They 
provide an opportunity each day to synthesize ideas from the afternoon sessions 
and put them to use in your own context. These sessions feature time to work on 
your own introductory or upper-division course, to plan new ways to strengthen 
your program, or to move forward your education research agenda. 

All participants registered for a particular day can attend either afternoon 
mini-workshops or panel discussions, or can choose between multiple sessions 
featuring teaching demonstrations and/or contributed talks. We would like to 
make sure that the afternoon mini-workshops hit areas of need and interest. To 
that end, we invite your comment on the proposed schedule: ( 
http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2016/feedback.html ). We are 
envisioning that specific topics (e.g. climate change), specific pedagogical 
techniques, and research results will be presented and discussed in the oral 
and poster sessions ( 
http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2016/program/contributed_program.html 
). 
Many of us have interests in multiple areas of Earth Science education in 
addition to our discipline-specific interests, and the Rendezvous is designed 
to allow exploration of these areas in ways not possible during conventional 
scientific meetings. The Contributed Program is a critical component to this 
end, and offers both a venue to present work and an opportunity to see what is 
going on in the Earth Science education community. The Rendezvous provides a 
unique opportunity to present and discuss your work with an audience of Earth 
Educators. For more details and to submit an abstract, poster or teaching 
demonstration visit: ( 
http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2016/program/contributed_program.html 
). Deadline is March 1. 

Lastly, we would like to encourage the use of the Rendezvous as a venue for 
working meetings that allow groups to move forward their collaborative project 
while capitalizing on the opportunity to learn from colleagues at the 
Rendezvous. If you are interested in running a concurrent working meeting at 
the Rendezvous, you can apply to receive a $20 per day discount for the members 
of your group and a meeting room. We must receive your application before 
February 1 to be considered for the working group discount. For more details 
and to apply visit: 
http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2016/working_group.html 

We hope you will find the program to be engaging and flexible. More details 
about the plenary speakers and workshop leaders will be available in the coming 
weeks. 

We hope to see you in Madison!

Webinar Abstract:
Drawing from examples within the taxonomic and natural history collection
communities, this webinar will detail the data types and challenges of
biological specimen data. We’ll explore the value and import of data
quality open resources, the current status of data assurance practices as
well as some more practical 'how-to’ examples of implementing data quality
assurance (QA) methods. For example, QA of publicly shared data is critical
for effective use and reuse. As part of the data life cycle, QA often
occurs following the collection of data. However, planning for quality
assurance in advance of data collection is time efficient and much cheaper
than trying to clean up and standardize later. QA planning can help avoid
commonly occurring data collection / entry errors.
