Integrating Ecology and Evolution in a Changing World. Understanding the ecology and evolution of current biodiversity is central to maintaining quality of life and conserving what remains of the natural world. Ecosystem services, such as pollination and nutrient cycling, are embedded within the evolution of ecosystems, and organismal diversity, which underlies ecosystem function, is the current expression of a deep evolutionary history. Integrated evolutionary and ecological study is needed to gain a complete understanding of biodiversity and its maintenance. The School of Natural Sciences, Trinity College, Dublin, is hosting a summer research program to provide training for undergraduate research. Ten undergraduate students will conduct a 10-week research project within the School between June and August 2008. Students will be embedded within active research groups and receive individual supervision from established researchers. Each student will be awarded a stipend to pay for accommodation and maintenance, and non-Irish students will be entitled to travel funds. The research program will be enhanced by a weekly seminar series, and a social program within and outside Dublin, enabling the UREKA students to explore life in Ireland. Application deadline: February 29, 2008.
