What is systematics?Systematics is the study of biological diversity and its origins. It focuses on understanding evolutionary relationships among organisms, species, higher taxa, or other biological entities, such as genes, and the evolution of the properties of taxa including intrinsic traits, ecological interactions, and geographic distributions. An important part of systematics is the development of methods for various aspects of phylogenetic inference and biological nomenclature/classification. The objective of the Society of Systematic Biologists is the advancement of the science of systematic biology in all its aspects of theory, principles, methodology, and practice, for both living and fossil organisms, with emphasis on areas of common interest to all systematic biologists regardless of individual specialization.

Where: Flett Lecture Theatre, Natural History Museum, London, UK The annual Young Systematists’ Forum represents an exciting setting for postgraduate students and young postdoctoral researchers to present their data, often for the first time, to a scientific audience interested in taxonomy, systematics and phylogenetic inference. This well-established event provides an important opportunity for budding systematists to discuss their research in front of their peers within a supportive environment. Supervisors and other established systematists are also encouraged to attend. JOB: Assistant Professor - UCSB - Evolutionary GenomicsThe Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology at the University of California, Santa Barbara invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position starting at the rank of Assistant Professor. We are searching broadly for an interactive scientist who addresses fundamental questions in evolutionary biology via analysis of large-scale gene sequence and/or expression data sets. Applications from those who can take advantage of UCSB’s world class marine facilities and international standing in marine biology are especially encouraged. The successful candidate is expected to develop an internationally recognized research program and to teach graduate and undergraduate students in his or her area of expertise. The successful applicant will have a PhD and clear evidence of research productivity. 57(4) August 2008
