[ECOLOG-L] Funds to support grad. students and postdocs to attend a Royal Society Discussion Meeting, June 2015, London.
Dear all, We are happy to announce a Theo Murphy discussion meeting entitled, "Elements, genomes and ecosystems: cascading nitrogen and phosphorus impacts across levels of biological organization" funded by the Royal Society of London to be held in Buckinghamshire, U.K. June 1-2 2015. The meeting is open to everyone, but space is limited. Please visit the following website to request an invitation to register:https://royalsociety.org/events/2015/06/elements-genomes-ecosystems/. The reason for this early message is to advertise funds from the U.S. National Science Foundation to help support the travel expenses of U.S. graduate students and postdocs. Applicants from underrepresented groups are specifically encouraged to apply. We will begin review of applications on December 15th 2014 to identify suitable candidates for receiving these limited awards. Please go here for information on applying: http://www.elementalbiology.info/JeyasinghLab/RoySocMtng.html Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions, and kindly forward to suitable candidates.

[ECOLOG-L] Gordon Graduate Seminar in Ecology
Subject: Gordon Research Seminar in Ecology for Grad. Students and Post-docs. This message is to bring to your attention a Graduate Research Seminar (GRS) this July (5th and 6th) in conjunction with the Gordon Research Conference (GRC), Metabolic Basis of Ecology (July 6th-11th). This years conference looks to be outstanding; a list of speakers can be found at: http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2008&program=metbasis The purpose of the GRS is to facilitate interaction among graduate students and postdocs the weekend prior to the GRC. Also, given the high caliber of many of the GRC conferees, grad student and postdoc involvement has been limited in the past. A key goal of the GRS is to prepare young scientists for greater participation during the GRC. Eight grad students and/or postdocs will give talks during that weekend on topics ranging from dynamics at the cellular, organismal, and population levels to the flow of energy and materials in communities and landscapes in a format identical to the GRC. More information can be found here: http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2008&program=grad_metab FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT REGISTRATION AND TRAVEL! SPACE AND FUNDS ARE LIMITED! There is room for only 35! APPLICATION DEADLINE: JUNE 14TH We look forward to meeting you in beautiful Maine this summer! Sincerely, Puni Jeyasingh & Chuck Price
[ECOLOG-L] Great Plains Limnology Conference
Dear fellow aquatic scientists, Please find attached the 1st call for papers for the 35th Annual Great Plains Limnology Conference and the 3rd Triennial meeting of the Oklahoma-Texas Aquatic Research Group. This year's meetings will be held jointly at the University of Oklahoma Biological Station. A web page has been established for online registration and abstract submission (see attached flyer). In addition to a student exemption from the registration fee, other student financial assistance will be available on request. The steering committee has been working hard to put together a great meeting this year (the previous joint meeting of 2002 set the bar pretty high!), and with your help their efforts will pay off. Please feel free to forward this announcement to your colleagues and students who may not be on the GPLC list serve (and please suggest to them that they join up -see below for instructions). Looking forward to seeing lots of familiar and new faces in September. On behalf of the GPLC-OTARG 2008 steering committee (Dan Roelke, Rich Zamor, Dave Hambright, Puni Jeyasingh), Puni Jeyasingh To subscribe to the GPLC list serve: Send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command format in the message: SUB GPLAINSLIMNOSOC Your Name To unsubsubscribe: UNSUB GPLAINSLIMNOSOC

[ECOLOG-L] PhD position in ecological stoichiometry and ionomics
Puni Jeyasingh's research group at Oklahoma State University ( http://puni.okstate.edu/) is recruiting a doctoral student interested in discovering fundamental rules underlying biomass production. Specifically, we seek to illuminate adjustments in the processing of all elements in a cell or organism (i.e. its ionome) in response to differential supply of elements that are known to limit growth (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus). Such adjustments should carry substantial costs, although very little is known. We primarily study aquatic (freshwater) organisms using chemostats, and in-lake mesocosms. Candidates will learn basic theories describing growth, experimental ecology using post-genomic era tools, and analyses of high dimensional data. Such work can prepare the student for a career in academia, industry, or government, depending on the specific topic chosen for the dissertation. The position will be funded (stipend + health insurance + tuition waivers) via research and/or teaching assistantships for the entirety of the doctoral program, pending satisfactory performance. The position is available as early as the Fall 2018 semester (mid-August). Selection process: 1) Email Puni indicating interest (along with CV); puni.jeyasi...@okstate.edu 2) Preliminary dialog/e-interview to determine fit 3) Apply formally to the OSU Graduate College (a BS or MS in a biological field is required to be considered for admission to the doctoral program).
