Derek,

I think that I need to reiterate that BISON made a COA to PIERC for  
BISON data activities. I leave it to PIERC to figure out how to do  
that. They accepted the COA and agreed to the deliverables. Please  
keep the conversation in that context.

Cheers,
Stinger

> PhD position
>
> We are looking for a full-time PhD student to conduct research in  
> nematology, which should lead to a Ph.D. degree in Science. The  
> successful candidate will receive a scholarship from Ghent  
> University for a period of 48 months with starting date October 1 or  
> 31 (depending on the candidate), 2012. The general research theme  
> includes taxonomy and evolution of plant-parasitic nematodes. The  
> candidate will work in a dynamic international research environment .
>
>
> The first objective of this project is to provide a more  
> comprehensive description of nematode biodiversity, based on an  
> efficient combined acquisition of data, including molecular,  
> morphological, biogeographical, ecological, and parasitic data, with  
> a focus on material from developing countries that is largely  
> unexplored or only fractionally studied (e.g., only morphological  
> analysis).
> The second goal focuses on the analysis of the data in a  
> phylogenetic framework. This opens up different opportunities, such  
> as (1) an estimation of historical processes of evolution  
> (especially evolution of parasitism) associated with our observed  
> data, simultaneously with an estimation of the phylogenetic tree;  
> (2) improved insight into biogeographical patterns; (3) more-focused  
> studies on character analysis and homology; (4) the use of  
> morphology and molecules in species delimitation and identification;  
> and (5) providing insight into the extent that single sequences can  
> serve as proxies for functional entities.
>
>
> Profile
> Candidates should hold a Master degree before the starting date of  
> the position and have a strong interest in taxonomy and phylogeny.
>
>
> Apply
> Please send your detailed c.v. to wim.bert at UGent before September 1, 2012.
