Informate sobre el curso de biodiversidad de algas marinas en Chile
Un curso internacional de verano será organizado en ECIM (Las Cruces, Chile, http://www.ecim.cl/) (27 Noviembre – 6 de Diciembre 2015) sobre biodiversidad de algas marinas. El objetivo es de proveer herramientas modernas de estudio de la diversidad de especies, así como de aspectos funcionales y evolutivos relacionados con la diversidad de micro- y macro-algas. El curso está abierto a estudiantes interesados en desarrollar tesis de Doctorado en el marco de una colaboración internacional entre laboratorios Chilenos, Brasileños y Franceses. La escuela será patrocinada y organizada por la red internacional “Diversity, Evolution and Biotechnology of Marine Algae”, las Sorbonne Universités, la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (UC) y el international laboratorio UMI 3614.
La fecha límite de inscripción es el 10 de Septiembre 2015.
El formulario de postulación (application form) y el programa del curso pueden ser descargados de esta página.

Target Students:
Master and early PhD students interested in developing their thesis in collaboration between France, Chile and/or Brazil. The summer school is organized by the international network GDRI Diversity, Biotechnology and Evolution of Marine Algae, integrating researchers in phycology, evolutionary biology and ecology, and molecular biology of marine algae from France, Chile and Brazil. Selected students will be motivated by integrative and/or comparative research in the framework of this international collaboration.
How to apply:
Send the Application Form (downloadable here) to Sylvain Faugeron (sfaugeron@bio.puc.cl) and/or to Myriam Valero (valero@sb-roscoff.fr), by the 10th of September 2015.
Costs/Fees:
The summer school is free of charge. Students will be hosted in or nearby the marine station ECIM with full support for lodging and meals. Travel costs will be supported for abroad students whenever they have no alternative funding.
