The National Laboratory of Genomics for Biodiversity of Mexico (Langebio) is a Unit of the "Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados" (CINVESTAV), a Federal Government Institution devoted to basic and applied research. Langebio's mandate is to conduct top-ranked research and graduate education, while promoting genomic knowledge for the protection and sustainable use of Mexican biodiversity (http://www.langebio.cinvestav.mx).
Research at Langebio is conducted by an international team of scientists, with an emphasis on collaboration and multidisciplinary studies. We are recruiting group leaders at all career stages, working in experimental and theoretical biology. Scientists at Langebio have access to state of the art computational and wet lab facilities, and are expected to build or bring a world-class research group. Applications from women are encouraged.
Applicants should send a CV, PDFs of their 3 most important publications, and a three page description of their scientific accomplishments and proposed research program. Junior applicants should arrange for three reference letters to be sent separately.
Review of applications will begin November 15th, 2011. Send applications to the attention of Dr. Luis Herrera-Estrella, Langebio-CINVESTAV, Irapuato, Guanajuato, MEXICO, E-mail: mbernal@langebio.cinvestav.mx

Graduate and Professional Courses
Graduate and Professional Course
Non-Invasive Genetic Techniques in Wildlife Conservation
May 19-25, 2012
Smithsonian-Mason Global Conservation Studies Program
At the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, Front Royal, VA, USA
Visit http://conservationtraining.si.edu or contact SCBItraining@si.edu
for more information.
This course is an introduction for graduate students and professionals to the applications, benefits, and drawbacks of non-invasive genetic techniques to wildlife conservation. The course will concentrate on the use of non-invasive techniques to answer questions in animal behavior,
population biology, and population management, with a particular focus on the conservation of mammalian populations. Participants gain hands-on experience relating to all stages of a research project utilizing modern non-invasive methods by working with expert researchers through a combination of field, laboratory and computer-based modules.
Throughout the course participants work through directed research projects, progressing from study design through field data collection, sampling protocols, and DNA extraction and amplification, to analysis of microsatellite and sequence data using the most effective and accessible software packages. The course focuses on relatedness, population size estimation and population dynamics; additional lectures address genotype reliability, research applications for ancient DNA, and applications of next-generation pyrosequencing.
Many of these groundbreaking non-invasive genetic techniques were initially developed at the Smithsonian's National Zoo and its Center for Conservation and Evolutionary Genetics (CCEG). Course instructors include scientists from CCEG (Drs. Jesus Maldonado and Rob Fleischer) and George Mason University (Dr. Christine Bozarth) and several expert visiting instructors including Drs. Mike Schwartz, Elizabeth Archie, and Lori Eggert. While most instruction takes place in Front Royal, the course also includes laboratory work at the National Zoo's new state-of-the-art genetics lab in Washington, DC.
The course fee is $1,500, which includes instruction and course materials as well as all meals, lodging, and transport to/from Washington-Dulles International Airport (IAD). All other travel costs and incidental expenses are the participant's responsibility. Participants earn Continuing Education Units; graduate course credit (1) is available for qualified applicants through George Mason University (total fee: $1600 in-state (VA), $1850 out-of-state). Participants should have
previously completed a college-level genetics and basic ecology/evolution course. Applications due by March 5th, 2012.

Ph.D. Linking traits, fitness and population dynamics
I am looking for a Ph.D. student to explore the links between genetically based traits, fitness and population dynamics. This research is part of a long-term program in collaboration with Prof. Marco Festa-Bianchet at the Universit de Sherbrooke. Since 1971, individually marked bighorn sheep have been monitored from birth to death at Ram Mountain. The student will collect behavioural observations during two or three seasons (May to September) and assist with capture, marking and measuring of the sheep, collecting samples for hormone and DNA analyses.
Assets for this position include a M.Sc. degree, publications, a knowledge of 'basic' French (or a strong willingness to learn it), fieldwork experience, strong quantitative skills.? Canadian candidates will be preferred, but strong foreign candidates will be seriously considered.
A tax-free scholarship is available, and financing for travel, fieldwork and lab expenses has been secured.? The program can begin in either January, May or September 2012.
For information on my research, see http://pages.usherbrooke.ca/fpelletier/
Interested candidates should e-mail a CV, a statement of research interests and the e-mails of two referees before the 1st of October to Fanie Pelletier: fanie.pelletier@usherbrooke.ca
