XXXI International *Ethological *Conference
*19-24 AUGUST 2009*

The 2009 ethological conference emphasizes the integrative nature of
ethology, and its relationships to other disciplines, including the the
human sciences and neuroscience. The overall goal of this conference is
to highlight relationships and encourage new connections between
ethological and non-ethological approaches to similar problems. To this
end, plenary talks will include pairs of ethologists and non-ethologists
who are working on related questions, symposia will focus on current and
future cross-disciplinary research, and ample time will be provided for
roundtables and discussion on integrative topics.
Invited plenary lectures
(First acceptances)
Dr. Thomas Bugnyar (University of Vienna, Austria)
Pr. Robert Lickliter (Florida International University, Miami, FL, USA)
Dr. Josep Call (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology,
Leipzig, Germany)
Dr. Georgia J. Mason (University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada)
Pr. Jean-Charles Chebat (HEC, Montréal, Canada)

I would be grateful if you could post the following job advertisement
in the
ABS electronic newsletter. Many thanks.
A postdoctoral fellowship on peptides and social behaviour in zebrafish
(Behavioural Biology, Department of Biology, Utrecht University, The
Netherlands).
Applications are invited for a two-year postdoctoral position to work on
zebrafish behaviour, with a closing date of July 25, 2008. This
collaborative project, funded by a Utrecht University ŒHigh Potentials¹
grant, focuses on peptidal influences on social behaviour, with
complimentary studies on fish and human behaviour. This wide ranging
study
has four new hires in total and will be a close collaboration between
groups
within Psychology (led by Dr. Jack van Honk) and Biology (led by Dr.
Simon
Reader). For further details please contact Dr. Simon Reader
(s.m.reader at uu.nl) or see http://www.bio.uu.nl/behaviour/Reader/postdocs.html
