Hello colleagues:
This message is to advertise a scientific “happening” (Woodstoich 2009;
http://meme.biology.tohoku.ac.jp/woodstoich/index.html) related to
EcologicalStoichiometry planned for this coming summer on a country farm
near Sendai city in northeastern Japan. The event is targeted towards
postdoctoral andadvanced PhD students who are working on any aspect of
ecological/biological stoichiometry in any type of ecosystem or with any
type of organism. The event is going to be dynamic, novel, and its
products will be rapidly disseminated in Oikos. The Global COE Program
"Center for Ecosystem Management Adapting to Global Change” and Tohoku
University, Japan (http://memo.biology.tohoku.ac.jp/gcoe) are providing
funding to cover the costs of attendance for all accepted participants.
To apply, interested parties should provide a 1-2 page cover letter
describing their past, ongoing, and/or planned work in
ecological/biological stoichiometry and related fields, and what s/he
hopes to contribute to the workshop, and a 2 page curriculum vitae. The
materials should be sent to Hideyuki Doi ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
by February 15, 2009. Further details are available through our website
(http://meme.biology.tohoku.ac.jp/woodstoich/) or by emailing Hideyuki.
Please post the attached flier prominently and to forward this email to
anyone who might be interested.
Thanks for your help in getting the word out!
