A field visit in pine and cedar forests is also planed the 4th day , with stops on the way for famous touristics sites. All detailed information is available on the web site of the meeting: http://iufro.sdu.edu.tr/ on which you can register and submitt your abstract.

Postdoc: bark beetle phylogenetics

by Bjarte Henry Jordal

A postdoc position in bark beetle phylogenetics is open at the University Museum of Bergen: http://jobbnor.no/en/available-jobs/job/99273/postdoctoral-fellow-in-biosys… Postdoctoral fellow in biosystematics - phylogenetic diversity of bark and ambrosia beetles At the Museum of Natural History, University Museum of Bergen, a position as postdoctoral research fellow is available for 2 years in the NFR funded project <A phylogenomic approach to understand the diversification of bark beetles and associated microbes>. The fellow will be associated with the research group Phylogenetic Systematics and Evolution at the museum (http://www.uib.no/rg/pse) Bark and ambrosia beetles are a species rich group of wood-boring insects that contain more than 10 % of the total weevil diversity. This group of wood-boring weevils shows extreme variation in ecological and biological adaptations, thus offering great opportunities for testing exciting evolutionary hypotheses. The postdoc will focus mainly on comparative phylogenetic analyses of diversification, particularly in relation to host plant evolution, symbiosis with microbial fungi, and variation in reproductive and genetic systems in these beetles. The research will be based in part on accumulated biological and ecological data, but additional fieldwork in the Afrotropics may be considered. It will also be necessary to participate in the reconstruction of large-scale bark beetle phylogenies. The postdoc will collaborate with team members from Michigan State University (East Lansing), University of Florida (Gainsville), one PhD student (started 2012) and the project leader at the University Museum in Bergen. Applicants must hold a PhD degree in evolutionary biology with relevance to biosystematics. The thesis must have been submitted by the application deadline. Applicants should have broad experience with phylogenetic research and diversification analyses, or coevolutionary approaches and similar types of phylogeny based analyses. Entomological expertise and knowledge about bark and ambrosia beetles is considered an advantage, but not mandatory. The selected candidate must document ability to work independently and in groups, and have a proven record of publishing scientific papers. Expected starting date is April 2014, but flexible within first half of 2014. Salary level 57 on the government salary scale (corresponding to NOK 473,100 per year). Additional information on the position is available from the PI, associate professor Bjarte Jordal, phone +47 55 58 2233, e-mail: bjarte.jordal(a)um.uib.no<mailto:bjarte.jordal@um.uib.no>

by Eckehard Brockerhoff

Dear forent and forpath subscribers, I am forwarding a message from Richard Sniezko regarding the IUFRO co-sponsored meeting on… Rusts of Forest Trees, and genetics/conservation of 5-needle pines (white pine) In June 2014 – see below and http://www.westernforestry.org/Events/conference/2014-five-needle-pine-gene… Please note the deadline for abstract submission at the end of this month! This is co-sponsored by the following two IUFRO WPs:  IUFRO 7.02.05 – Rusts of Forest Trees<http://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division/70000/70200/70205/>  IUFRO 2.02.15 – Breeding and Genetic Resources of Five-Needle Pines<http://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-2/20000/20200/20215/> Please direct any questions to Richard at rsniezko(a)fs.fed.us<mailto:rsniezko@fs.fed.us> Best regards, Eckehard (Ecki) Brockerhoff, Coordinator, IUFRO Div. 7 (Forest Health) From: Sniezko, Richard -FS Sent: Sunday, January 19, 2014 10:32 AM To: Christel Palmberg; Ducci Fulvio; Luukkanen Olavi; Raunio Anna-Liisa; Kageyama Paulo; Souvannavong Oudara; Nikiema Albert; Kollert Walter; Ortiz Chour Hivy; Durst Patrick; Foday.Bojang(a)fao.org Cc: Sniezko, Richard -FS Subject: Abstracts due Jan 31 (for those applying for funding for June conference) RE: Candidates for sponsorship for attending IUFRO 2.02.15/7.02.05 June 2014conference We’ll gather abstracts for these candidates early (requesting by Jan 31) The focus of the meeting is [a] Rust of Forest Trees, and [b] 5-needle pine (white pine) genetics/conservation. That will give the committee time to evaluate and IUFRO time to process. There is potentially a chance to update an abstract by the March 5th date when other abstracts are due. June 2014 Conference: http://www.westernforestry.org/Events/conference/2014-five-needle-pine-gene… NOTE: This meeting is separate from the IUFRO World Congress which will be held in the U.S.A. in early Oct 2014 (I am not involved in that meeting) RICHARD A.

We may have an unique opportunity to “support a maximum of 3 scientists (e.g. one each from Africa, Asia and Latin America) to attend the “Five needle pine genetics (2.02.15) & Rust of Forest Trees (7.02.05)” conference in June 2014. Some of you may know outstanding candidates around the world that normally would not have a chance to attend and contribute to this type of meeting. I would like to ask for your assistance locating candidates (short deadline on this) - those qualifying for sponsorship are from “low income” and “lower middle income” countries that I have indicated in red on the list below (I’ve done this quickly, so subject to verification, the source pdf is attached). Our IUFRO conference organisers/scientific committee selects the candidates for sponsorship (based on abstract submitted). Please note that an approved oral or poster is a considered a pre-condition for sponsorship. There are several steps to go through in this process of sponsorship, so we need to locate suitable candidates as soon as possible. Some possibilities: There are 5-needle pines (white pine) species in parts of Asia that we know little of; I’m sure there are many rusts of forest trees that we know little of. Information about the IUFRO Working Groups and the conference can be found at the link below June 2014 Conference: http://www.westernforestry.org/Events/conference/2014-five-needle-pine-gene… We have limited funding opportunity here, so if you know good qualified candidates, that will help the committee in its decision. ***Please send names/emails to me at rsniezko(a)fs.fed.us<mailto:rsniezko@fs.fed.us>, or have the candidates send me their information (name, institute, email address, species working on, proposed title(s) of presentation. The call for abstracts will also be out soon (next week).
