FW: Seeking bees and hoverflies for allometry study

Hi all,

 

We are seeking help in collecting pollinating insects (specifically bees and hoverflies) worldwide to help in an ongoing project that is collating existing, and constructing better predictive allometric equations for pollinating insects. This will form an R statistical package set for distribution in 2018 or 2019.

 

Please see advert attached and pass on to any pollination ecologist you know!

 

Please contact Liam for further details.

Cheers

Romina

 "How to handle gendered assumptions in evolutionary biology research"

12-13th April 2018 at Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden

Funded by ESEB's equal opportunity initiative funds (http://eseb.org/workshop-on-gendered-assumptions/ )

In evolutionary biology research, we often approach questions on males and females differently. Sometimes there may be good reasons for this. However, it may also be an outcome of gender biased assumptions. In this two day workshop we aim to identify and discuss such gender biased assumptions in scientific publications, as a gateway to more deeply analyze the way we make inferences in our scientific reasoning. Furthermore, we aim to constructively put forward guidelines on how we, as scientists, should handle gendered assumptions. Terminology and language use, theoretical as well as empirical research can all carry these gendered assumptions, so by means of this workshop we hope to address some important gaps in evolutionary biology research. See https://genderedassumptions.xyz for further information on content and schedule.

To participate, send an e-mail to Ingrid.Ahnesjo@ebc.uu.se  before the 15^th of March 2018 and provide a short motivation letter (150 words) or use the course web page https://genderedassumptions.xyz/contact-us/ . Number of participants is limited to 25. Participants will have to arrange travel and housing themselves. Participants are eligible to apply for the ESEB congress attendance aid grants before 16 February 2018, see http://eseb.org/prizes-funding/equal-opportunities-initiative/congress-attendance-aid-grant/

Doktorand i Ekologi med inriktning mot betydelsen av fiskvägar och vandringshinder för lekvandrande fisk

Välkommen till Linnéuniversitetet! Institutionen för biologi och miljö tillhör fakulteten för Hälso- och livsvetenskap. Vid institutionen bedrivs forskning inom bland annat ekologi, mikrobiologi och miljövetenskap. Nu söker institutionen en forskarstuderande i ekologi.

Projektet: Många rinnande vattendrag i Sverige och utomlands är påverkade av dammbyggen förknippade med kraftverk och kvarnar. För att mildra negativa effekter av sådana vandringshinder på växt- och djurliv och göra lekområden åtkomliga för fisk har en del vattendrag försetts med olika typer av fauna passager eller fiskvägar. Vi söker nu en doktorand som ska arbeta inom ett forskningsprojekt som syftar till att undersöka hur olika fiskvägar och vandringshinder påverkar selektion, fenotypisk variation, genetisk struktur, populationsdynamik, evolution och livskraft hos lekvandrande fisk. Arbetet kommer att inkludera en kombination av fältstudier, laboratorieexperiment och genetiska analyser baserade på molekylära data. Studierna kommer att beröra socio-ekonomiskt och ekologiskt viktiga arter som exempelvis lax, öring, gädda och ål.

Forskarstudierna är avsedda att leda till en Filosofie Doktorsexamen. Forskningsuppgiften kommer delvis att genomföras i samarbete med andra forskare inom Centre for Ecology and Evolution in Microbial model Systems (EEMiS) vid Linnéuniversitetet och vid Sötvattenslaboratoriet, SLU. Projektet finansieras av Formas och Stiftelsen Oscar och Lili Lamms Minne. Högskoleförordningen anger att den som är anställd som doktorand skall främst ägna sig åt sin egen utbildning. En anställd får dock i begränsad omfattning arbeta med utbildning, forskning och administration. Sådant arbete får, innan doktorsexamen har avlagts, inte omfatta mer än 20 % av full arbetstid.

Behörighetskrav
Grundläggande behörighet har den som

• Avlagt examen på avancerad nivå.
• Fullgjort kursfordringar om minst 240 högskolepoäng, varav minst 60 högskolepoäng på avancerad nivå, eller
• på något annat sätt inom eller utom landet förvärvat i huvudsak motsvarande kunskaper.

Bedömningsgrunder: Urval görs med hänsyn till de sökandes förmåga att tillgodogöra sig utbildningen på forskarnivå. I bedömningen tas hänsyn till den vetenskapliga skickligheten dokumenterad i vetenskapliga arbeten, särskilt avseende kvaliteten och inriktningen (biologi, evolutionär ekologi, akvatisk ekologi, fiskeribiologi, eller annat närliggande område) på uppsatser på grund- och avancerad nivå, och andra vetenskapliga arbeten. Bedömningen inkluderar även: tidigare erfarenhet av forskningsinriktat arbete med fisk i fältstudier och laboratorieexperiment; kunskap om lekvandrande fisk, fiskvägar och vandringshinder; färdigheter inom statistisk bearbetning och analys, GIS, genetik och molekylära metoder; god förmåga att uttrycka sig väl i tal och skrift, på engelska och svenska; samt körkort.

Oikos list: Event in Umeå may 26 - visibility of women in science and public perceptions of who a scientist is

Dear Friends,

Soapbox Science is a public outreach event that aims to promote the visibility of women in science, and challenges public (and academic) perceptions of who a scientist is. We have just launched our call for speakers for our 2018 events, which includes the first ever event in Sweden, which will be held at Umeå City Centre!

Now in its 8th year, Soapbox Science has showcased more than 550 top scientists internationally; it is a multi-award winning, and well-cited model for revolutionising diversity in science and widening participation in public engagement of science.

Watch our film for a flavour of what it's like!

Soapbox Science is expanding, with more than 30 events planned across the globe in 2018 – that's over 360 women who'll take to the streets to share their passion for science and mission for equality! As the Umeå event will be the first event in the country, we are anticipating a lot of interest from the public as well as from press. Our events have hosted prominent scientists such as Dame Georgina Mace, Dame Athene Donald, Prof Lesley Yellowlees and Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock alongside early-career scientists. A typical event attracts 1000s of people – some come back every year to meet new scientists; others are new-comers or just passers–by who happen upon the event.

Please encourage your female colleagues (from PhD students to Professors) to apply to speak, to help challenge stereotypes in science and promote the visibility of women in STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine).

If you are interested in applying to be one of our speakers please sign up here. The deadline is 23rd of February. The event is free and your talk can be given in Swedish and English both.

We are also looking for student volunteers to help out with the organization of the event.

Soapbox Science Umeå Event:

Date: May 26, 2018

Time: 10:00 to 15:00

Location: Umeå City Centre

Kindly feel free to ask for any further information you may require while registering.

Subject: [ASAB-MAIL] Interviews of ecologists and evolutionary biologists blog

 

Hello,

 

My name is Hari Sridhar and I'm a post-doctoral researcher at the Centre for Ecological Sciences, Indian Institute of Science. Since early 2016, I have been conducting a series of interviews of ecologists and evolutionary biologists. In each interview, I revisit an old "well-known" paper in ecology/evolution/behavior, with the primary author, to find out about 1. the making of the paper 2. the impact the paper had on the author's career and research and 3. the author's current stand on what was said in the paper. The idea is to construct, what one might call, 'shadow papers', which capture the past and future of the original published articles. The interviews are now all available at:

https://reflectionsonpaperspast.wordpress.com/ 

 

This is an ongoing project and I will post new interviews as and when they are ready. 

 

Thank you. 

 

Regards, 

Hari

Oikos list: ECCB 2018 deadline extended

The 5th European Congress of Conservation Biology (ECCB 2018) attracted over 500 abstract submissions before the January 10th deadline.

 

Due to many requests to consider further submissions, the abstract submission deadline is extended by a couple of weeks, to January 31st - but this is the first and last extension, so get in now if you want to join us in Jyväskylä, Finland in June!

 

http://conbio.org/mini-sites/eccb2018/participation/call-for-abstracts/

 

ECCB 2018 features some special things:

 

- All abstracts are peer-reviewed by authors of other abstracts, plus peers assigned by the Scientific Committee, using the unique quality peer review process developed by Peerage of Science.

 

- If your abstract is accepted, it gets a DOI and is published in the University of Jyväskylä Open Access repository JYX - you get an open access peer-reviewed publication out of your trip to Finland, with zero extra charges! (If you do not want your abstract published, that is OK too: after submission you can choose "Do Not Publish").

 

- Ever wished a conference would give you a dedicated place where people who missed your talk, or who had a comment but no time to say it, could meet you later? Or what if your talk is on the last day, and you wish there was a place to promote it during one the first days and attract people to come hear you? ECCB 2018 does this! Just choose "Oral + Poster" as your submission type, and you are set to have both.

 

- Free childcare, and Congress is open for children below the age 16, no registration needed.

 

- And of course, there is a chance you might meet us, the founders of Peerage of Science in person... (but do come nontheless!).

 

Kind regards

Phd student vacancy

Dear colleagues,

 

We have a vacancy for a Phd student position to study the links between coastal dune self-organisation, flooding resistance and diverse aspects of biodiversity.

The position is open until a suitable candidate is found but we plan to fill the position before April-May 2018.

 

I would be very grateful if you could pass this to potentially interested students.

 

Thanks for your assistance,

Dries
