Postdoc in phytopathology

Dear friends and colleagues,

 

We have a 2-year postdoc position in phytopathology available at SLU Alnarp. The postdoc is expected to harness wild strawberry genotypes and their fungal “bodyguards” from across Europe to obtain new knowledge about the evolution of “plant-bodyguard” interactions at the continental scale.

Best wishes,

Johan

Swedish Oikos conference: keynotes

Greetings!

 

The biannual Swedish Oikos meeting 2023 will take place in Gothenburg from January 31 to February 1st. The theme will be "Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences of Global Environmental Change". We now have 5 confirmed keynote speakers:

 

Helmut Hillebrand, University of Oldenburg

Isla Myers-Smith, University of Edinburgh

Ulrika Candolin, University of Helsinki

Sam Dupont, University of Gothenburg

Simon Creer, University of Bangor

 

A link to the registration page will open very soon! In the meantime…

 

If you would like to propose a workshop:

On Monday, January 30^th, there will be several smaller thematic workshops. If you would like to propose a workshop, please send me an email (anne.bjorkman@gu.se) with a very brief description of your idea as soon as possible. These thematic workshop sessions could have any theme and format. The workshops are expected to be 1.5 hours long but two 1.5 hours slots might be possible. They could have a narrow scope focusing on a topic of interest for a smaller group of researchers or a more general scope. They could have the format of plenary presentations, panel discussions or working groups. The program is put together by the organizer (i.e., you!).

 

We look forward to hosting you in Gothenburg!

Reminder: Sign up – Centennial anniversary of the ecotype concept 29th of November

Centennial anniversary of the ecotype concept: the legacy of Göte Turesson – 29th of November

This year is the centennial anniversary of the ecotype concept, which was coined by the Swedish geneticist Göte Turesson in 1922. Since then, the ecotype has served – and is still serving – as a focal concept in evolutionary ecology, especially in studies of the interaction between plants and their environment. The concept and methods introduced by Turesson have also had a large impact on the assessment of phenotypic variation for crop improvement, in its modern form known as "envirotyping". Turesson got his basic education in Biology at the University of Washington, USA. He returned to Sweden and received his PhD from Lund University in 1923. He was active in southern Sweden until 1935 when he became a professor in systematic botany and genetics at the Agricultural College at Ultuna outside Uppsala. 

We plan to celebrate the anniversary by organizing a symposium on 29th November together with the annual NordPlant meeting on "Envirotyping for plant breeding and precision agriculture"  which takes place the day after, 30th November.  Both meetings are located at Blå Hallen, Ecology Building, Lund University. The symposium will be in a hybrid format, with the option to participate online. 

The programme on 29th November starts with a welcome reception between 08.30-09.15, followed by a general introduction and then a presentation of the historical context of the ecotype concept by Anna Tunlid (Lund University). Invited specialists will present different aspects of present-day applications of the ecotype concept. See attached program.

You now can now sign up for participation at the symposium from this net page:

https://www.plantlink.se/centennial-anniversary-of-the-ecotype-concept-the-legacy-of-gote-turesson-29th-of-november/

Note that the number of seats is limited for the lunch and symposium dinner,  so please sign up as soon as possible, not later than Sunday 20 November.  However, it is possible to sign up later if you plan to attend remotely (through zoom) or do not plan to join the lunch and symposium dinner. 

Organizers: Stefan Andersson, Nils Cronberg, Magne Friberg, Mikael Hedrén, Øystein Opedal from Lund University and Helena Persson from SLU Alnarp

Sponsors: Elly Olssons fond, Mendelian Society in Lund
