Title:
Three working group leaders are needed for the Woodstoich 4 Workshop to
be held in August 2019 at Flathead Biological Station, Montana. The
meeting is being organized by Dr. Michelle Evans-White (University of
Arkansas) and Dr. Jim Elser (University of Montana)
*Responsibilities:* Group leaders will lead small, diverse groups of
early-career scientist in analyses and manuscripts featuring innovative
ideas that can invigorate ecology and evolution by improving and
expanding the use of stoichiometric theory. It is generally expected
that group leaders will be postdocs or senior (close to completion) PhD
students. Group leaders will be selected and notified prior to December
31, 2018. Group leaders will meet with workshop co-organizers remotely
to produce a rough draft prior to the workshop. The manuscript draft
will be completed during the 5-day workshop in August 2019. Resulting
manuscripts will be submitted and rapidly peer-reviewed (24-h) during
the workshop for potential publication in Frontiers in Ecology and
evolution (FEE). The workshop is free to all accepted participants
(incl food and lodging) and travel expenses for USA participants will be
compensated.
