Graduate Fellowships at Kansas State University
GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS: Ecological Genomics at Kansas State University Multiple Graduate Fellowships AVAILABLE for admission in Fall 2008 to join the Ecological Genomics Institute (EGI) at Kansas State University. Research in the EGI works to link responses of living systems to environmental change at the genetic level. The overarching goal of this research initiative is to identify the genes that are involved in organismal responses to the environment. This Ecological Genomics Institute takes advantage of existing strengths at Kansas State University in genetics and genomics, ecology and evolutionary biology to answer cross-cutting questions that lie at the interface of genomics and ecology. This collaborative research effort crosses disciplines (genetics and ecology) and departments (Agronomy, Biology, Entomology, Plant Pathology, Computing and Information Science). In addition, the EGI takes advantage of experimental manipulations at the Konza Prairie Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site. Research and education opportunities exist for Graduate Students to work towards an MS or PhD degree in this large collaborative and interdisciplinary effort. More information about the Kansas State University Ecological Genomics Institute research groups can be found at www.ksu.edu/ecogen. Twenty-eight faculty with interests spanning the diversity of disciplines within ecological genomics are involved in the Ecological Genomics Institute (see below). The deadline for applications is 15 January 2008. For application information, visit: www.k-state.edu/ecogen/recruit-GradStudentsApplication.html. Questions?

Ecological Genomics Symposium, Nov 9-11 in Kansas City
Plan now to attend the 5th Annual Genes in Ecology, Ecology in Genes Symposium on November 9, 10, 11, 2007, in Kansas City. We will convene in the Intercontinental Hotel on the beautiful Country Club Plaza on Friday at 6:00 p.m. and conclude on Sunday at noon. Information will be posted on our website, www.K-State.edu/ecogen, as details are finalized. Ecological Genomics is a field at the interface of ecology, evolution and genomics that seeks to place the functional significance of genes and genomics into an ecological and evolutionary context. Please refer to our website for future announcements of our exciting line-up of renowned speakers. Participants are invited to share their own research with the group through a poster session on Friday night and Saturday. Poster topics should be related to the field of Ecological Genomics. A limited number of submitted poster abstracts will be selected for oral presentations. Please share this announcement with colleagues and students who are interested in learning more about the field of Ecological Genomics. If you have questions, please contact us at (785) 532-3482 or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Additional information about this interdisciplinary research initiative is available at www.K-State.edu/ecogen.

GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS IN ECOLOGICAL GENOMICS
GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS IN ECOLOGICAL GENOMICS at Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas Ecological Genomics: Genes in Ecology and Ecology in Genes Graduate Fellowships AVAILABLE for admission in Fall 2007 to participate in this newly emerging field at the interface of ecology and genomics. This research initiative will link responses of living systems to environmental change at the genetic level. The overarching goal of this research initiative is to identify the genes that are involved in organismal responses to the environment. This Ecological Genomics initiative takes advantage of existing strengths at Kansas State University in genetics and genomics, ecology and evolutionary biology to answer cross-cutting questions that lie at the interface of genomics and ecology. This collaborative research effort will cross disciplines (genetics and ecology) and departments (Agronomy, Biology, Entomology, Plant Pathology, Computing and Information Science). In addition, this initiative will also take advantage of experimental manipulations at the Konza Prairie Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site. Research and education opportunities exist for Graduate Students to work towards an MS or PhD degree in this large collaborative and interdisciplinary effort. More information about the Kansas Ecological Genomics collaborative research groups at Kansas State University can be found at www.ksu.edu/ecogen. Twenty faculty with interests spanning from genetics and genomics of model organisms (Arabidopsis, C. elegans, Drosophila) to microbial, plant and animal organismic biology, and ecosystem ecology are involved in this research initiative. Applicants should have the interest and willingness to cross disciplines. Completed applications must be received by January 5, 2007.
