CoursesPhyloinformatics Summer of Code 2010 @NESCent
Computational Phyloinformatics: A BGI-Shenzhen and NESCent Course (August 5-17 2010)
Computational Phyloinformatics (http://www.nescent.org/courses/2010/comphy/) is an 11-day intensive summer course co-sponsored by BGI-Shenzhen and the U.S. National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent), and will take place at the BGI-Shenzhen genomics institute in Yah Tian District, Shenzhen, China, August 5-17, 2010. The venue is in proximity to beaches, national forests, and holiday resorts. The course aims to give students practical knowledge and hands-on programming skills in phyloinformatics. Workshop on Molecular Evolution, Woods Hole25 July - 6 August 2010, individual research session 6 - 13 August 2010 The Workshop on Molecular Evolution has been the finest course on the subject since first offered in 1988 in Woods Hole, USA. The Workshop consists of a series of lectures, demonstrations and computer laboratories that cover various aspects of molecular evolution. Faculty are chosen exclusively for their effectiveness in teaching theory and practice in molecular evolution. Included among the faculty are developers and other experts in the use of computer programs and packages such as BLAST, BEAST, Clustal W and Clustal X, FASTA, FigTree, GARLI, Genealogical Sorting Index, LAMARC, MAFFT, MrBayes, PAML, PAUP*, and SeaView who provide demonstrations and consultations. The course is designed for established investigators, postdoctoral scholars, and advanced graduate students with prior experience in molecular evolution and related fields. Scientists with strong interests in molecular evolution, phylogenetics, population genetics, and related fields are encouraged to apply for admission. Lectures and computer laboratories total ~90 hours of scheduled instruction. An optional all-computer laboratory of 54+ hours of independent work with guidance and consultation of some faculty and teaching assistants is offered during the third week. Admission is limited and highly competitive, with admissions decisions determined by an international committee. Participants find the individual research session to be especially useful. EMBO course on Computational Molecular Evolution
Deadline for applications: 31 January 2010 This EMBO Practical Course aims to provide researchers with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to carry out molecular evolutionary analysis on their own data and on data drawn from sequence databases. The course will combine basic assumptions and ideas fundamental to the field with discussion of cutting-edge methodologies, and is therefore relevant to researchers with a range of different experience levels. Workshop on Comparative Genomics, Europe 2010
24 January - 5 February 2010 Application Deadline: 1 October 2009 http://workshop.molecularevolution.org/ Michael P. Cummings and Scott A. Handley, Co-Directors The Workshop on Comparative Genomics consists of a series of lectures, demonstrations and computer laboratories that cover various aspects of comparative genomics. Faculty are chosen exclusively for their effectiveness in teaching theory and practice in comparative genomics. Included among the faculty are developers and other experts in the use of computer programs and packages such as Ensembl, Galaxy, and Species Assignment Package who provide demonstrations and consultations. The course is designed for established investigators, postdoctoral scholars, and advanced graduate students. Scientists with strong interests in the uses of short-read sequence data, analytical methods, comparative structure of genomes, SNP detection and analysis, CNV, genome visualization tools and related areas are encouraged to apply for admission. Lectures and computer laboratories total ~90 hours of scheduled instruction. Admission is limited and highly competitive, with admissions decisions determined by an international committee. Topics to be covered include:
2010 Fee: 2250 USD. Fee include opening reception and mid-course dinner, but does not include other meals or housing. Special discounted pricing has been arranged for hotels, pensions and hostels. For more information and online application see the Workshop web site http://workshop.molecularevolution.org/ The Workshop on Molecular Evolution is also being offered immediately before the Workshop on Comparative Genomics.

Phyloinformatics Summer of Code 2009
Graduate Student Enrollment PossibilityMORIARTY LEMMON LAB NOW ACCEPTING GRADUATE STUDENTS FOR FALL 2009 The new laboratory of Emily Moriarty Lemmon at Florida State University (Tallahassee) is now accepting enthusiastic and motivated graduate students for Fall 2009, particularly those with herpetological and evolutionary biology interests. The focus of the Moriarty Lemmon Lab is the study of speciation, and to study this process the lab employs an approach that integrates across diverse fields including behavioral ecology, phylogenetics, phylogeography, population genetics, genomics, and ecology. Biological Sciences Curriculum StudyFor 2008 BSCS is offering an institute focused on evolution, titled “Evolution: Earth & Life” for those teaching Evolution. In addition to the information below, you can locate more at www.bscs.org/si. It includes a six-day, face-to-face workshop experience in Colorado Springs, Colorado (50 hours PD), 20-25 JULY 2008, and an online professional learning community that will be moderated through May 2009 (up to 55 hours additional PD). Computational Phyloinformatics: A Course at NESCent
