Subject: INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON IRIDESCENT COLORATION
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON IRIDESCENT COLORATION
The School of Life Sciences at Arizona State University is pleased to
announce an integrative 4-day conference on iridescent colors in nature,
entitled '*Iridescence: More than Meets the Eye'. This *is a graduate
student initiated and organized conference that aims to connect diverse
groups of researchers to catalyze cross-disciplinary discussions on
iridescent coloration in nature, identify new avenues of research, and
explore the potential for iridescence to provide novel insights in fields
as divergent as materials science, sexual selection and primary science
education. We invite you to join us for this exciting event.
Conference program:
Each day of the conference will involve talks from invited speakers (see
list below), oral and poster presentations from conference participants, and
discussions centered on the four broad topics listed below.
Day 1: Mechanisms and Measurement
Day 2: Development
Day 3: Evolution
Day 4: Education and Outreach
We are pleased to announce that the following invited speakers have
confirmed their participation: Dr. Stephanie Doucet, Dr. Helen Ghiradella,
Dr. Roger Hanlon, Dr. Darrell Kemp, Dr. Kevin McGraw, Dr. Daniel Osorio, Dr.
Richard Prum, Dr. Ronald Rutowski, Dr. Matthew Shawkey, Dr. Mohan
Srinivasarao, Dr. Doekele Stavenga, Dr. Peter Vukusic
Conference dates: February 6-9th, 2008
Student travel grant deadline: October 19th, 2007
Abstract submission deadline: October 26th, 2007
Early registration is FREE and will be available until November 16th,
2007.
Late registration ($50 fee) will run from November 17th through February

Subject: ISBE newsletter for post-doc research
Dear all,
The ISBE newsletter has a new newsletter item where advanced PhDs or early
post-docs can publish their research profile (Name, education, research
interests, selected papers) to the wider community of behavioural
ecologists.
The two things we hope to achieve is to 1) help early researchers with
strengthening their international profile (and hopefully generate job
opportunities) and 2) facilitate the recruitment and evolvement of early
researchers into the society.
If you or someone you know would be interested in this service, please
email me asap.

successful applicant will contribute to teaching behavioural ecology at
undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
Wildlife / Conservation Biologist: Applications are invited from Wildlife
and Conservation Biologists and Population / Behavioural Ecologists, with a
Conservation Biology focus to teach and develop a research program in
population ecology for conservation, pest control and/or harvest
management. Evidence of engagement with governmental agencies, NGOs, and/or
community groups in the application of research to conservation management
would be an advantage.
One position will be offered as a fixed-term (three-year) appointment at
the level of Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor, and the other as a
confirmation-path (tenure track) position at the level of Lecturer/Senior
Lecturer. The successful candidates are expected to take up duties by 1

Subject: Tenure track jobs in Biology at Bucknell University
TWO TENURE-TRACK
BIOLOGY POSITIONS
The Biology Department at Bucknell University invites applications for two
entry-level tenure-track Assistant Professor positions to begin August
2008. The successful candidates will teach introductory courses for
majors or non-majors and upper-level courses in their area of specialty.
The successful candidate is expected to establish a research program that
involves talented undergraduates and attracts extramural funding. Ph.D.
or ABD, evidence of teaching effectiveness, and a strong research record
are required. Postdoctoral experience is preferred.
We are seeking a broadly trained ORGANISMAL, ECOLOGICAL, or EVOLUTIONARY
BIOLOGIST. We especially welcome applicants who can contribute to the
interdisciplinary programs of Neuroscience, Animal Behavior, or
Environmental Studies, but all research areas will be considered.
We are also seeking a broadly trained CELL or MOLECULAR BIOLOGIST.
Applications from candidates with expertise in any cell or molecular
biology discipline will be considered; areas of particular interest that
would complement existing strengths in the department are neurobiology,
immunology, or signal transduction.
Bucknell University is a premier liberal arts university with a
long-standing tradition of excellence in the sciences. Start-up funds and
internal funding for research are available. Institutional support for
faculty research includes shared facilities for tissue culture, confocal
and scanning electron microscopy. Faculty members typically teach one
course and two laboratories, or the equivalent, each semester.
To apply, please refer to website: http://www.bucknell.edu/jobs. Review of
applications will begin on October 15. The search will remain open until
the position is filled.
Bucknell University values a diverse college community and is committed to
excellence through diversity in its faculty, staff and students. An Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer, Bucknell University especially
welcomes applications from women and minority candidates.
