CALL FOR NOMINATIONS SIXTH ANNUAL UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN EARLY CAREER SCIENTISTS SYMPOSIUM:
EXPERIMENTAL EVOLUTION The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan invites nominations of outstanding scientists early in their careers to take part in a symposium on experimental evolution. This symposium will be held in Ann Arbor, Michigan on Saturday, April 17, 2010. Eight scientists will be selected to present their work. All research involving observation of long-term changes in controlled populations, investigating response of natural populations to experimental manipulation, or performing evolution in silico, will be favorably considered. Early career scientists are defined as senior graduate students (who will receive their Ph.D. within one year) or postdoctoral researchers. Potential speakers can be nominated by their advisor or a senior colleague. Nominations must include a brief letter of recommendation addressing the nominee's scientific and communication skills, a copy of the nominee's curriculum vitae, and a brief abstract of the proposed presentation (< 200 words, written by the nominee). Nominations can be sent electronically (in a single file if possible) to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the subject line: "Nominee for ECSS."
