MYCOLOGICAL CLASSIFIEDS Mushroom Ecotour in Northern Thailand Are you interested in looking for mushrooms in northern Thailand? We are currently trying to organize a mushroomoriented “ecotour” in northern Thailand, outside of Chiang Mai. The tour will include a variety of things to be determined by participants later, but will revolve around collecting in the mountainous areas near Chiang Mai. Lectures, cultivation workshops, cooking demonstrations, field identification and microscope work will also be components of the tour. The tour will be all-inclusive, including transport, food, accommodations, use of laboratory equipment and guided collecting trips with a native English speaker (Dr. Edward Research support is available for graduate study in the biodiversity of pyrenomycetes beginning January 1, 2006 at the Illinois Natural History Survey. This project is part of an inventory of the wood-inhabiting pyrenomycetes of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and emphasizes training in: 1) the diverse methods of traditional collections-based research, 2) the development and management of digital information tools, and 3) the application of molecular sequencing techniques and phylogenetic analyses. The project will include research on the systematics, biogeography, and ecology of temperate pyrenomycetes and will contain a large fieldwork component. Desirable qualifications includes experience in fungal systematics and DNA sequencing techniques. Support includes a full RA stipend ($20,000 per year) and tuition waiver for 3 years including summers. The successful candidate will join a group using multidisciplinary approaches in systematic research. The Illinois Natural History Survey is affiliated with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and is located on the south end of campus. 74 Inoculum 56(4), August 2005 Grand). Dr. Edward Grand is a recent graduate from the University of Tennessee, where he studied Lentinus, Panus and other Basidiomycetes with Dr. Ronald Petersen. The Centre also houses several students working with Basidiomycetes as well as frequent visiting researchers. For more information about the Centre or the tour, please email Dr. Edward Grand at edwardgrand@yahoo.com or visit our website at: www.mushroomresearchcentre.net Please note that biological material cannot be taken outside of Thailand without the permission and/or collaboration of a Thai university or institution. Postdoctoral Fellowships Available at Duke University The Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy’s Center for Evolutionary Genomics at Duke University is pleased to announce the continuation of its Post-doctoral Fellowships in Evolutionary Genomics and Molecular Evolution. This Fellowship provides an annual salary of $37,000 plus benefits and $11,000 in research funds per year for a two-year period. The program allows Fellows to pursue research in the laboratory of a sponsoring faculty member affiliated with the Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy. Two Fellowships will be awarded this year. We invite innovative proposals from scientists of any nationality to carry out research at Duke University for a twoyear appointment, beginning in the fall of 2005. We are particularly interested in proposals that address mechanisms of molecular evolution, comparative genomics, and the evolution of development. Although proposals focused exclusively on building phylogenies will not be considered, the appli- Doctoral Student Funding Available cation of phylogenetic approaches to analyzing the evolution of genes and genomes is certainly appropriate. Faculty sponsors can be located within any department or school at Duke University; the only stipulation is that the project fall within the areas of research listed above. Please send curriculum vitae, a three-page research proposal, a one-page summary of past research, and two letters of recommendation to: Evolutionary Genomics, c/o Greg Wray, Department of Biology, Box 90338, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708-0338, USA. Applications received by 1 June 2005 will be guaranteed full consideration. Duke University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. Female and minority candidates are especially encouraged to apply. Questions can be directed to Greg Wray by email (gwray@duke.edu).
