Richard Henry Bain's bail hearing, scheduled for Tuesday, has been cancelled because the accused in the 2012 election night shooting, which left one man dead, has waived his right to have one.
When it came to big news stories in 2012, no other city in Canada could hold a candle to Montreal.
The man charged with the election night shooting at Métropolis appeared briefly in Quebec Court Thursday with cuts to his head, and claimed guards had pushed him.
Daniel Prieur is a huge fan of Arcade Fire and Patrick Watson. But he had a far more important reason to be the at Monday night's benefit concert at the Métropolis in memory of slain stage hand Denis Blanchette.

There are talks that James Storm will be having quite a bit role at Slammiversary, which was just recently announced to be taking place in Dallas. The feeling within TNA is that his southern gimmick would be quite the draw for fans in Texas. He is currently engaged in a program with Gunner, and that feud could be escalated into a top tier one by June.
March 7, 2014
While he is no longer feuding with Mr Anderson, who has been moved into a program with Christy Hemme and Sam Shaw now, Bully Ray will be facing his nemesis once again. The two of them will be headlining some live events for TNA this weekend, where they will be working a steel cage match. James Storm and Gunner are also working a featured match at the show.
February 28, 2014
While it has yet to be officially announced for the pay per view, many are expecting a match between James Storm and Gunner will be added to TNA Lockdown 2014. On Impact Wrestling this week, Storm turned heel by hitting his super kick on a flying Gunner during his heavyweight championship match against Brutus Magnus.
February 23, 2014
The TNA production crew put together a really good promotional video of Gunner recently, and it impressed Taz enough to where he took to Twitter to give them this shout out.
February 20, 2014
Through Twitter, Gunner recently revealed that he used to be a security guard, prior to becoming a professional wrestler. The TNA star rightfully takes a lot of pride in being able to turn his life around over the years.
February 6, 2014
On February 22, OMEGA Championship Wrestling is doing a live event in Smithfield, North Carolina. Matt Hardy and Shane Helms will be headlining the event as a tag team. Gunner, Christian York and Reby Sky have all been announced for the show as well.
February 6, 2014
There will be a Lethal Lockdown match at TNA Lockdown 2014 this year. Team Dixie will consists of Ethan Carter, Bobby Roode, James Storm and Rockstar Spud. They will face Team MVP, which will include MVP, Gunner, Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards.
January 31, 2014
After weeks of teasing the move, the James Storm heel turn has finally happened. Impact Wrestling is being taped right now, and the long time TNA star turned on Gunner as he was challenging Brutus Magnus for the world heavyweight championship.

The martyrs of Korea - and innumerable others throughout Asia - handed over their bodies to their persecutors; to us they have handed on a perennial witness that the light of Christ's truth dispels all darkness, and the love of Christ is gloriously triumphant. With the certainty of his victory over death, and our participation in it, we can face the challenge of Christian discipleship today, in our own circumstances and time.
In your Christian lives, you will find many occasions that will tempt you, like the disciples in today's Gospel, to push away the stranger, the needy, the poor and the broken-hearted. It is these people especially who repeat the cry of the woman of the Gospel: "Lord, help me!". The Canaanite woman's plea is the cry of everyone who searches for love, acceptance, and friendship with Christ.- Pope Francis

DANGJIN, South Korea (Catholic Online) - Pope Francis drew massive crowds during his apostolic journey to the Republic of Korea. The successor of Peter exudes the love of the Lord in a way which spans all national, cultural or ethnic lines, just as Jesus did.
He also holds a special place in his heart for the young. What is eminently clear is that they hold a special place in their hearts for him. He addressed thousands of Korean young People in English. It was a deeply personal, inspiring and evangelical message. We offer it in full below.
Pope Francis to the Young People of Asia
Dear Young Friends,
The glory of the martyrs shines upon you!
These words - a part of the theme of the Sixth Asian Youth Day - console and strengthen us all. Young people of Asia: you are the heirs of a great testimony, a precious witness to Christ. He is the light of the world; he is the light of our lives!
The martyrs of Korea - and innumerable others throughout Asia - handed over their bodies to their persecutors; to us they have handed on a perennial witness that the light of Christ's truth dispels all darkness, and the love of Christ is gloriously triumphant. With the certainty of his victory over death, and our participation in it, we can face the challenge of Christian discipleship today, in our own circumstances and time.
The words which we have just reflected upon are a consolation. The other part of this Day's theme - Asian Youth! Wake up! - speaks to you of a duty, a responsibility. Let us consider for a moment each of these words.
First, the word "Asian". You have gathered here in Korea from all parts of Asia. Each of you has a unique place and context where you are called to reflect God's love. The Asian continent, imbued with rich philosophical and religious traditions, remains a great frontier for your testimony to Christ, "the way, and the truth and the life" (Jn 14:6). As young people not only in Asia, but also as sons and daughters of this great continent, you have a right and a duty to take full part in the life of your societies.
Do not be afraid to bring the wisdom of faith to every aspect of social life!
As Asians too, you see and love, from within, all that is beautiful, noble and true in your cultures and traditions. Yet as Christians, you also know that the Gospel has the power to purify, elevate and perfect this heritage.
Through the presence of the Holy Spirit given you in Baptism and sealed within you at Confirmation, and in union with your pastors, you can appreciate the many positive values of the diverse Asian cultures. You are also able to discern what is incompatible with your Catholic faith, what is contrary to the life of grace bestowed in Baptism, and what aspects of contemporary culture are sinful, corrupt, and lead to death
Returning to the theme of this Day, let us reflect on a second word: "Youth".
You and your friends are filled with the optimism, energy and good will which are so characteristic of this period of life. Let Christ turn your natural optimism into Christian hope, your energy into moral virtue, your good will into genuine self-sacrificing love! This is the path you are called to take. This is the path to overcoming all that threatens hope, virtue and love in your lives and in your culture. In this way your youth will be a gift to Jesus and to the world.
As young Christians, whether you are workers or students, whether you have already begun a career or have answered the call to marriage, religious life or the priesthood, you are not only a part of the future of the Church; you are also a necessary and beloved part of the Church's present! Keep close to one another, draw ever closer to God, and with your bishops and priests spend these years in building a holier, more missionary and humble Church - a Church which loves and worships God by seeking to serve the poor, the lonely, the infirm and the marginalized.
In your Christian lives, you will find many occasions that will tempt you, like the disciples in today's Gospel, to push away the stranger, the needy, the poor and the broken-hearted. It is these people especially who repeat the cry of the woman of the Gospel: "Lord, help me!". The Canaanite woman's plea is the cry of everyone who searches for love, acceptance, and friendship with Christ.
It is the cry of so many people in our anonymous cities, the cry of so many of your own contemporaries, and the cry of all those martyrs who even today suffer persecution and death for the name of Jesus: "Lord, help me!" It is often a cry which rises from our own hearts as well: "Lord, help me!"
Let us respond, not like those who push away people who make demands on us, as if serving the needy gets in the way of our being close to the Lord. No! We are to be like Christ, who responds to every plea for his help with love, mercy and compassion.
Finally, the third part of this Day's theme - "Wake up!" - speaks of a responsibility which the Lord gives you.
It is the duty to be vigilant, not to allow the pressures, the temptations and the sins of ourselves or others to dull our sensitivity to the beauty of holiness, to the joy of the Gospel.
Today's responsorial psalm invites us constantly to "be glad and sing for joy". No one who sleeps can sing, dance or rejoice. Dear young people, "God, our God, has blessed us!" (Ps 67:6); from him we have "received mercy" (Rom 11:30). Assured of God's love, go out to the world so that, "by the mercy shown to you", they - your friends, co-workers, neighbors, countrymen, everyone on this great continent - "may now receive the mercy of God" (cf. Rom 11:31). It is by his mercy that we are saved.
Dear young people of Asia, it is my hope that, in union with Christ and the Church, you will take up this path, which will surely bring you much joy. Now, as we approach the table of the Eucharist, let us turn to our Mother Mary, who brought Jesus to the world. Yes, Mother Mary, we long to have Jesus; in your maternal affection help us to bring him to others, to serve him faithfully, and to honor him in every time and place, in this country and throughout Asia. Amen.

Beyonce And Jay-Z Take Blue Ivy To See The Paris Sights
Jay-Z kept a firm hold on daughter, Blue Ivy, as he and wife, Beyonce, stepped out of their hotel in Paris, France. The couple are there while Jay-Z continues his Watch the Throne tour with friend and fellow rapper, Kanye West. Beyonce has been the best cheerleader for her husband and even watched his Friday night concert with famous friends Gwyneth Paltrow and Kelly Rowland.
The self-proclaimed push-over father covered Blue's face from the prying cameras but we managed to spy some adorable dangling legs from under the blanket. Beyonce brought up the rear beaming in a colorful ensemble. Did you manage to catch photos of the singer during her Atlantic City performance last week? She looked beyond amazing, right?

New grandmother, Sharon Osbourne was also on hand to gush over little Pearl throughout the excursion. She's been a fixture in the household and has opened up about how enraptured she is with her grandbaby and how she loves babysitting when Jack and Lisa need some time away.

Woody Harrelson Takes Daughter Makani To Toy Store
Actor Woody Harrelson took five-year-old daughter, Makani Harrelson, to Tom's Toys in Beverly Hills on Sunday. The low key duo left with a bag full of goodies. In addition to Makani, Woody has two other daughters with wife, Laura Louie: Deni and Zoe. He recently told Contact Music he doesn't give his children advice because he doesn't have all the answers. "I think I've been an incredible example to my kids of what not to do. And I try not to preach about diet any more either. I used to do that because I see so many people eating s**t. Now I just let people see my energy and how strong I stay."
What do you think of Woody's laissez-faire parenting approach?

Pregnant Kourtney Kardashian Runs Errands With Her Sisters
A very pregnant Kourtney Kardashian stepped out with her famous sisters, Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian Odom, yesterday in Sherman Oaks to run some errands. The trio first bought a fish tank at Underwater Depot before heading for a quick bite at Sweet Hearts. Koutney rocked a white bohemian fringe dress that looked both fashionable and comfortable whereas Kim looked a tad overdressed in a white ensemble that was more fit for a red carpet.
Could the fish tank have been for two-year-old son, Mason Disick? Sometimes it can be hard for an only child to understand that there's another baby on the way. Perhaps Kourtney is trying to keep Mason happy and engaged because it might be tough for the little guy to come to terms with not being the center of the Kardashian family's universe anymore. Kim still hasn't!

Pete Wentz Carries Bronx Out To Lunch (Photos)
Fall Out Boy singer Pete Wentz was spotted taking his three-year-old son Bronx and girlfriend Megan Camper out to lunch in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Bronx didn't seem like he was much in the mood for walking so dad had to carry him. Pete did manage to keep a tight squeeze on Camper's hand most of the way. Doesn't Bronx remind you of Hank Baskett IV? I think they must be in a competition to see who can grow their crazy curls out the longest!

Dear colleagues, We are very happy to invite submissions to the following ESEB 2015 symposium: Forecasting Eco-Evolutionary Responses To Global Changes Our goal is to highlight current empirical and theoretical studies that mix evolutionary and ecological approaches to investigate the fate of species' ranges or persistence under a changing environment. The 15th Congress of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology (ESEB), will be held in Lausanne, Switzerland, from August 10 - 14 2015. http://bit.ly/1rIZnbW INVITED SPEAKERS Katja Schiffers (Laboratoire d'Ecologie Alpine, Grenoble, France) http://bit.ly/1xB4Pjl Kathleen Donohue (Duke University, NC, USA) http://bit.ly/1GZC3yg ORGANISERS Frdric Guillaume (University of Zurich, Switzerland) http://bit.ly/1puEGzN Ophlie Ronce (CNRS - University of Montpellier, France) http://bit.ly/1GZC31p SYNOPSIS "Evolutionary biology is seldom seen as a predictive science mostly because evolutionary changes are traditionally expected to occur over long time scales where it becomes impossible to predict evolutionary trajectories. Current evidence for rapid adaptive changes on short time scales challenges this vision and argues for the inclusion of evolutionary responses into ecological niche modelling of shifting species' distributions under climate changes. Ecological forecasting of future species' ranges has been preferred based on the premise of conservatism of species' fundamental ecological niches on the time scale of global change. The question of niche conservatism is currently intensely debated and a role for evolutionary adaptation in niche dynamics is expected. Current niche modelling predictions of species extinctions may thus be inaccurate whenever species have the capacity to adapt to novel conditions outside their niche. On the other hand, evolutionary processes may aggr avate the consequences of environmental changes on species persistence whenever the evolution of adaptive traits is limited by genetic or demographic constraints. This symposium aims at highlighting recent efforts to bring together ecological and evolutionary approaches to better understand and predict the potential responses of natural species to environmental changes and the impact of ongoing global changes on the maintenance of biodiversity." The DEADLINE for abstract submission is January 10, 2015. Further details on ABSTRACT SUBMISSION and the conference are here: http://bit.ly/1rIZnbW Abstracts will be evaluated by the symposium organisers and will be selected for either oral or poster presentation by early March. When submitting your abstract please state your preference (talk, poster). We are looking forward to holding a very exciting symposium! Fred Guillaume & Ophlie Ronce via Gmail
Dear colleagues, We would like to invite abstract submissions for the symposium "Novel insights in the genetics of sex-specific variation" at the ESEB 2015 conference in Lausanne. Invited speakers: - Daphne Fairbairn (UC Riverside) - Tim Connalon (Monash University) Organisers: - Elina Immonen (Uppsala University) - Holger Schielzeth (Bielefeld University) - Arild Husby (University of Helsinki) This symposium aims to bring together and showcase recent advances in our understanding of the genetics of sex-specific variation and its contribution to sexual dimorphism. Some of the specific areas of interest include identification of genetic basis for sexually dimorphic or sex-specific traits, the role of sex chromosomes in harboring sex-specific variance, the degree to which sex-specific evolution is constrained by intersexual genetic correlations and the link between sexual dimorphism at the molecular and phenotypic levels. Researchers using (quantitative) genetic, genomic and transcriptomic approaches in these fields are invited to contribute to the symposium. Please see the symposium description (no 5) at the ESEB website: (http://bit.ly/1AEbj5O) To register for the ESEB meeting and for abstract submission to this symposium please visit: http://bit.ly/1ED5KBg Deadline for submission for contributed talks and posters is 10th January 2015.

Hello, I am working with two distinct mtDNA clades, each of which is predominated by a major haplotype. Clade 'A' has numerous 1-step mutations away from the main A type with a couple of 2-3 step mutations. Clade 'B' has fewer 1-step mutations from the main B type with a single 2 step haplotype. I have tried running BEAST with little success (lack of convergence, I think due to the simplistic nature of the network). I have also tried estimating time of population expansion for the two clades individually from mismatch distributions and get a more recent event for A (the more variable of the two) than for B. I am certain this is not a data formatting error, but the expectation would be the more variable should have the older time of expansion. Any thoughts? Mark Mark Coulson via Gmail
New graduate student positions at the NASA Astrobiology Institute at the University of Montana (admitting for Fall 2015) Overview: The NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI) at the University of Montana is seeking outstanding graduate students interested in pursuing research related to the evolution of biological complexity. Research assistantships (NIH scale) are available to work on projects led by Scott Miller, Matt Herron and Margie Kinnersley. NAI students will join the robust and collaborative Evolutionary Genetics and Genomics Group, a diverse set of UM faculty using genetic and genomic approaches to investigate evolutionary processes in plants, animals, and microbes. Funding is also available for short- or long-term travel to the UM-NAI partner labs of Vaughan Cooper (U New Hampshire), Shelley Copley (U Colorado, Boulder), Gavin Sherlock (Stanford U), and Paul Sniegowski (U Pennsylvania). Students will also have the opportunity to interact with Montana NAI team leader Frank Rosenzweig, Montana NAI co-Investigator John McCutcheon, as well as with theoretical biologists Eric Smith (Santa Fe Institute) and Phil Gerrish (U New Mexico), who will be summer scholars-in-residence at Montana and Pennsylvania, respectively. Program Description: It is now widely recognized that not just competitive, but also cooperative interactions are fundamental features of biological systems ranging from enzymes to organelles, cells and societies of cells and organisms. The Montana NAI consists of eight projects organized around five questions related to how such interactions influenced major transitions in the history of Life: (1) How do enzymes and metabolic networks evolve? (2) How did the eukaryotic cell come to be, specifically the cell that contained a mitochondrion? (3) How do symbioses arise? (4) How does multicellularity evolve? and (5) How do pleiotropy, epistasis and mutation rate constrain the evolution of novel traits? A unifying theme underlying these questions is: how do cooperative vs. competitive interactions play out in driving major transitions that occur when independently replicating entities combine into a larger, more complex whole? Project Descriptions: Consequences of recA duplication for recombination, genome stability and fitness (PI Scott Miller; firstname.lastname@example.com; http://bit.ly/1sLHO9k ): Despite the importance of homologous recombination during the proliferation of biological diversity, we still have a poor understanding of the balance of its creative, stabilizing and destabilizing contributions to organismal fitness and genome evolution. Addressing this issue hinges on understanding the regulation of the expression and activity of the recombinase A (recA) gene family, an ancient gene family that plays a central role in HR-mediated processes in all three domains of life. We will use the extraordinary genetic variation exhibited by duplicated recA gene copies in the genomes of the cyanobacterium Acaryochloris as a model to address both the impact of recA copy number on recombination and fitness and whether Acaryochloris RecA paralogs have specialized for different sub-functions. With the recent development of genetic tools for these organisms that enables us to manipulate recA copy number, the Acaryochloris system presents a unique opportunity to gain novel insights on the fitness consequences that emerge from the interplay between HR-mediated maintenance of genome stability, selectively favored gene duplications and non-adaptive genomic rearrangements. The evolution of complexity via multicellularity and cell differentiation (PI Matt Herron; firstname.lastname@example.com; http://bit.ly/1BmI4ER): How and why organismal complexity increases are central questions in evolutionary biology. Although the vast majority of life forms remain simple, both the maximum and the average levels of complexity have increased from the origin of life to the present day. Large increases in organismal complexity resulted from a series of events in which existing individuals combined to become parts of a new kind of individual with components specialized for various roles. Such events are known as major transitions and include the emergence of cellular life from groups of interacting molecular replicators, of eukaryotes from two prokaryotes, of multicellular organisms from unicells, and of eusocial $B!H(Bsuperorganisms$B!I(B from individual animals. Among such transitions, the evolution of multicellular organisms from single-celled ancestors set the stage for unprecedented increases in complexity, especially in land plants and animals. We have used the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to experimentally generate de novo origins of simple (undifferentiated) multicellularity in two separate experiments. Using these newly-evolved, multicellular Chlamydomonas, we plan to ascertain the genetic bases underlying the evolution of multicellularity, evaluate the role of genetic assimilation in the evolution of multicellularity, and observe the evolution of multicellular development in real time. An experimental model for eukaryogenesis: Co-evolution of Escherichia coli and its parasite Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus (PI Margie Kinnersley; firstname.lastname@example.com; http://bit.ly/1BmI7jW): Among the major evolutionary transitions, perhaps the most crucial to understanding extant biodiversity is the transition from prokaryote to eukaryote (eukaryogenesis). Because the timing of eukaryogenesis coincides with the phylogenetic origin of the mitochondrion, it has been hypothesized that acquisition of this organelle heralded the prokaryote-eukaryote transition and preceded the rapid diversification referred to as the eukaryotic big bang. By selecting for metabolic interdependence between the intracellular prokaryotic predator Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus and its host, an acetate-excreting strain of Escherichia coli, we plan to establish a simple, straightforward model for mitochodrial acquisition based on the $B!H(Bparasitism hypothesis$B!I(B of mitochondriogenesis. This co-evolving system will be used to test hypotheses concerning ecological prerequisites for, early molecular events in, and evolutionary consequences of incipient endosymbiosis based on metabolic niche partitioning and energy generation, exactly the features that define the mitochondrion$B!G(Bs role in eukaryotic systems. Understanding these aspects of symbiogenesis is essential for truly understanding the prokaryotic/eukaryotic transition and thus is applicable to the study of myriad aspects of cellular and organismal diversity. The University of Montana: UM is located in Missoula, MT, a college town in the heart of the Northern Rocky Mountains with a high quality of life. Missoula has excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation, an active music scene, a strong biking culture, numerous restaurants and breweries, and was listed among Outside Magazine$B!G(Bs $B!H(BBest Towns$B!I(B in 2011 and 2013.

Graduate student positions in Plant Evolution at McGill University, Montreal. Position 1. Self-incompatibility is the most effective method by which flowering plants enforce outcrossing and maintain a system of mating that the negative consequences of inbreeding depression in progeny. The self-incompatibility system in the Brassicaceae is perhaps the best characterized one. We have recently found exciting evidence suggesting that this system has evolved more than once within the family (http://bit.ly/1xV5743). We are looking to recruit a graduate student (M.Sc. or Ph.D. level) to assist us in furthering this investigation. Position 2. Climate change is producing new ecological challenges for plants in this century (e.g., temperature, water stress conditions). When phenotypic plasticity is insufficient for plants to cope with such challenges, they must either adapt evolutionarily or face local extinction. We are exploring how next generation sequencing approaches can help us to better understand the underlying genetics and evolutionary genomics of this process. We would like to recruit a graduate student (Ph.D. level) to work on this problem in our lab. Please send me your CV and a brief statement detailing: (1) which position you are interested in applying for; (2) why you are interested in the position and any relevant experience you may have; and (3) the names of 3 people we may write to for letters of reference. This information should be sent to Prof. Daniel Schoen: email@example.com by 15 February 2015 (for Canadian students) and 30 December 2014 (for non-Canadian students). email@example.com via Gmail
Graduate research opportunity to study ectoparasite population genetics and metapopulation dynamics. Department of Biological Sciences - University of Tulsa A graduate student at the M.S. or Ph.D level is sought to work with Drs. Warren Booth and Charles Brown in the Department of Biological Sciences at The University of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The successful applicant will develop a thesis research project focused on the metapopulation dynamics and population structure of swallow bugs (Oeciacus vicarius: Cimicidae), a disease vectoring ectoparasite of cliff swallows (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota). The PIs have amassed a large collection of swallow bugs from cliff swallow colonies varying in size, geographic location, and patterns of occupation, and have recently identified hundreds of microsatellite markers specifically for swallow bugs using next-generation sequencing. The work will draw on a long-term (33-year) study on social behavior and reproductive ecology of cliff swallows in western Nebraska. The study aims to examine the following objectives: nest fidelity and dispersal patterns, inbreeding dynamics, metapopulation structure and population differentiation; relationships between host and parasite genetic structure and diversity; and the potential of blood-fed bugs as indirect indicators of cliff swallow demography and social structure. Applicants for this position should have a strong background in population genetics, molecular ecology, evolutionary biology, or ecology, be willing to undertake seasonal field research at the study site in western Nebraska, and meet the admission requirements for the Department of Biological Sciences graduate program.

ESEB symposium on ECOLOGY AND THE EVOLUTION OF SEX We would like to invite you to contribute to the ESEB symposium Ecology and Evolution of Sex, which will take place at the 15th Congress of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology (ESEB), in Lausanne, Switzerland, 10 - 14 August 2015. Invited speaker: Sally Otto (UBC) and Levi Morran (Emory University) Organizer: Hanna Koch and Lutz Becks (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology) SYMPOSIUM DESCRIPTION: We are still missing the answer to one of the important questions in evolutionary biology: Why sex? Despite the high prevalence of sexual reproduction in nature, understanding its evolution and maintenance is still not that straightforward. The reason lays partly in the scarcity of experimental tests and theory that account for ecological dynamics and their direct consequences, i.e. population cycling and thus changes in strength and/or direction of selection. An important step towards solving the mystery of sex is to include ecological dynamics in experimental, theoretical as well as genomic studies. With this proposed symposium, we hope to start a rapid growing discussion on how to further integrate the role of ecology into the field of the evolution of sexual reproduction. WEBSITE (see symposium 1): http://bit.ly/1AEbj5O The site for registration for the ESEB meeting and for abstract submission for this symposium is now open at: http://bit.ly/1rIZnbW DEADLINE for abstract submission for contributed talks and posters: 10 January 2015. Abstracts will be evaluated by the symposium organizers and will be selected for either oral or poster presentation by early March. When submitting your abstract please state your preference (talk, poster). Submitted talks will be 17 min each, including discussion, plus 3 min to change rooms. The overall time window allotted to each symposium will be decided by the congress committee, depending on the number and quality of submissions.

Seeking outstanding students interested in evolutionary biology and chemistry to join the Bushley lab in fall 2015. Fungal secondary metabolites are enigmatic small molecules that shape the interaction of fungi with plants and other organisms. Using a combination of next generation sequencing, natural products chemistry, molecular genetics, and metabolomics, we examine the evolution, diversity, and functions of these metabolites, with a focus on large modular proteins such as nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) and polyketide synthetases (PKSs). Current research is focused on population genomic analyses and fine-scale evolution of NRPS secondary metabolites among strains of Tolypocladium inflatum, a fungal pathogen of beetles. Questions addressed include looking at how selection on secondary metabolite genes, together with horizontal transfer and transposition in fungal genomes shapes the evolution of new chemical compounds. Other projects in the lab include identification of regulatory networks involved in controlling secondary metabolism, characterizing genome features that allow fungi to interact with distinct hosts (insects, plants, and other fungi), and examining the roles of endophytic fungi and their metabolites in mediating plant resistance to insect and nematode pests. The Bushley lab (http://bit.ly/1e1IgKp) in the Deptartment of Plant Biology at University of Minnesota is a diverse, interdisciplinary, and stimulating research environment that values ethnic, cultural, and gender diversity. The University is home to a vibrant academic community with strong expertise in mycology, genetics, host-microbe interactions, and natural products chemistry. The university recently hired 4 new faculty in mycology, adding additional expertise to an already strong program. Students will have the opportunity to interact with other mycology labs (Kennedy,May,Figuroa,Shilling,and Kistler) as well as strong programs in molecular and cellular biology and computational biology.

2 PhD positions - The genetics of parallel pollinator-driven ecological speciation in orchids Two PhD positions are open for highly motivated students with a keen interest in evolutionary and ecological questions, and a solid knowledge of (1) bioinformatics/statistics/genomics or (2) molecular biology/biochemistry. The successful candidates will be part of a team investigating the molecular basis of parallel pollinator-mediated reproductive isolation and ecological speciation between sexually deceptive orchids of the genus Ophrys. The project seeks to understand the degree of convergence, at the phenotypic and molecular levels, of two cases of species divergence mediated by the same pollinators. This multidisciplinary project will involve a combination of field experiments, chemical ecology, metabolomics, population genetics, ecological genomics, bioinformatics, evolutionary analysis, transgenesis (in Arabidopsis), molecular biology and enzyme biochemistry, to address fundamental questions about the repeatability of evolution. For background information on the study system, please see e.g. Schlter & Schiestl (2008, Trends Plant Sci.) and Schlter & al. (2011, PNAS). The two main components of the project, each addressed by one PhD student, focus on (1) a field and ecological genomics approach utilising exome and RNA sequencing involving an in-depth analysis of candidate genes and metabolic pathways involved in the production of pollinator-relevant traits; (2) identification and key genes and specific mutations underlying repeated adaptations, and in-depth analysis of their biochemical functions, their regulation, evolutionary origin and ecological effect. The ideal candidates should be highly motivated and able to articulate their motivation for this project clearly. S/he should be well organised, with a thorough understanding of evolutionary biology, population genetics and molecular biology. Moreover, candidates for position (1) are expected to have programming/analysis skills (knowledge of R is required, knowledge of C/C++, Delphi or other languages are a plus) and a proven experience in bioinformatics, ideally with an ecological genomics background. Candidates for position (2) should have ample experience in molecular laboratory techniques, such as molecular cloning and RNA work, and ideally protein work (expression/purification/Westerns/enzyme work), plant transformation and subcellular protein localisation (e.g. GFP). For both positions, proficiency in English and good communication skills are essential, as is an MSc degree (or equivalent) in biology, biochemistry, or a related discipline, and the proven ability to carry out research independently. We offer two 3-year PhD positions at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. The students will be part of the Institute of Systematic Botany, located in the beautiful Botanic Gardens and within walking distance of Lake Zurich. The successful candidates will work in a young, active and interdisciplinary environment and will have access to state-of-the-art tools and techniques. Applications should be made via the Life Science Zurich Graduate School (http://bit.ly/16PBvHj), selecting the Plant Science programme, before 1 December 2014.
