ask for subcultures of Phytophthora hibernalis
by Sabine Werres
Good morning to everybody,
may I ask whether somebody can help me with a subculture of Phytophthora hibernalis from Chamaecyparis, Citrus, and/or Malus? We need them for infection studies.
Thank you very much in advance
Sabine

Ph.D. Fellowship in Forest Pathology Available
by SMITH,JASON ANDREW
Greetings,
The School of Forest Resources at the University of Florida is seeking applicants for the UF Alumni Award Fellowship for new Ph.D. students. This award is the most prestigious graduate award available at the University and provides a stipend of $22,000/year + tuition and benefits for 4 years. In addition, the successful applicant will be awarded the Grinter Award (an additional $2,000 dollars) the first year (to offset moving expenses etc.). We seek applicants to conduct research in my forest pathology research program, starting in fall 2008. The nature of the specific project will depend on individual interests and needs of the program, however, there are many opportunities to engage in cutting-edge forest pathology research in a growing, vibrant program.
To be considered for this opportunity, potential awardees must be nominated by April 1, 2008. Thus, interested students are urged to contact me directly a.s.a.p. and provide a letter of research and career interests, a curriculum vitae, unofficial academic transcripts, GRE scores and provide contact information for 3 references no later than March 20, 2008. Due to the competitive nature of this fellowship, minimum combined GRE scores of 1250 and a GPA of 3.8 or higher are required. In addition, a record of independent research and preferably publications will increase the odds for attaining this award.
Information about graduate education at School of Forest Resources and the University of Florida can be found at: http://www.sfrc.ufl.edu
Please distribute this announcement to all potential applicants. Thank you.
Sincerely,
