[ECOLOG-L] Spring writing workshop at the UWM Field Station
Please share this announcement with others who may be interested. Registration is now open for the 2012 Spring Workshop at the UWM Field Station Creative Writing About the Natural World April 20 21, 2012 (Friday and Saturday) Instructor: Dr. Mary Linton is a wetland ecologist and aquatic biologist with special interest in the predators of wetland communities, particularly amphibians, dragonflies and damselflies, and aquatic beetles. Dr. Lintons ecological articles have appeared in numerous journals including Evolution, Ecology, and the American Naturalist, as well as popular magazines. Her poetry has appeared in many literary journals including Appalachia, Blueline, Verse Wisconsin and Seeding the Snow. The course: Persuasive communication about the natural world comes in many forms and the scientific paper is only one of those forms. This course will give students, even those who write little, many opportunities to write creative non-fiction about the particular ecosystems found at the UWM Field Station. Class time will be divided between time spent investigating field phenomena (bogs, fields, forests, ponds, nighttime biology) and time spent reflecting and writing about those phenomena. Writing time will be focused on poetry, including haiku, and the personal essay. If interest is sufficient, we may also pursue micro fiction. Students need no prior experience in ecology or writing to benefit from this course. All levels of expertise are encouraged to enroll. Our workshops offer a unique opportunity to explore focused topics in natural history under the guidance of noted authorities. This workshop presents college-level instruction and is designed to accommodate participants with a broad range of experience. Enrollment is limited to 20, providing an informal atmosphere and individualized instruction. This class is also available for one college credit.

[ECOLOG-L] Winter Plant Workshop at UWM Field Station
Please share this announcement with others who may be interested. Registration is now open for the 2012 Winter Workshop at the UWM Field Station Our workshops offer a unique opportunity to explore focused topics in natural history under the guidance of noted authorities. This workshop presents college-level instruction and is designed to accommodate participants with a broad range of experience. Enrollment is limited to 20, providing an informal atmosphere and individualized instruction. Also available for one college credit. Ecology and Physiology of Plants in Winter: Surviving the Big Chill January 6 7, 2012 (Friday Saturday) Instructor: Dr. James Reinartz The plants of temperate and boreal regions have several anatomical and physiological adaptations that allow them to survive low temperatures. Minimum temperatures set the range limits for many species, and snow and ice loading can be important constraints on the morphology of northern trees. Some woody plants can photosynthesize in the winter, which is also an important time for seed dispersal. This workshop will explore all of the aspects of plant life in the winter, especially what is known about the special adaptations that allow northern plants to survive the freezing and drought associated with extreme cold. We also spend some time learning the basic characteristics used to identify woody plants in the winter. Please visit our website at http://www4.uwm.edu/fieldstation/workshops/ for a full description of the course, fee information, and a Registration Form. Please contact the Field Station for more information, or if you would like a registration form mailed to you.

[ECOLOG-L] Postdoctoral position - ecological genetics of Invasive Species
Postdoctoral Position: Ecological Genetics of Invasive Species. A postdoctoral position in ecological genetics is available at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The successful candidate will work on a collaborative project examining genetic structure of an invasive plant in its native and introduced ranges in the lab of Drs. Sara Hoot, Gretchen Meyer and Mai Phillips. Using existing plant collections, the postdoctoral associate will assist in the following projects: 1) develop molecular markers to investigate genetic variation of Solidago gigantea in its native range (US) and introduced range (Europe), 2) explore relationships among the genetic data and previously-collected datasets on secondary chemistry, susceptibility to herbivory, and growth and reproductive characters of the same plants, and 3) develop a molecular phylogeny of the Solidago canadensis complex (including the species most closely related to S. gigantea). A Ph.D. and a strong background in ecological genetics, systematics, or evolution is required. Experience extracting and amplifying DNA from plant tissue is preferred, and interest or experience with genetics of invasive plants is desirable. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has a strong research group in ecology and evolution (http://www4.uwm.edu/letsci/biologicalsciences/grad/eeb/index.cfm) and Milwaukee is a vibrant city offering many cultural and recreational opportunities (http://www4.uwm.edu/visitors/amazing_milwaukee.cfm). We offer a competitive salary and full benefits. The position is for one year with an opportunity to contribute to grant-writing for further funding. Start date will be between July - Aug 2010. Review of applications will begin June 10 and continue until position is filled. To apply, send letter of interest highlighting your relevant experience and interests, a complete CV, and contact information for 3 referees to Gretchen Meyer (gme...@uwm.edu or by mail to UWM Field Station, 3095 Blue Goose Rd, Saukville WI 53080).
