Twenty-five community-based organizations will be selected through a community-led process and invited to attend the XVIIIth International AIDS Conference in Vienna from 18-23 July, 2010, where they will have an opportunity to showcase their work. All 25 organizations will receive $5,000 each. Five of these will receive special recognition and an additional $15,000. (more…)

A PhD position is available at the Theoretical Biology Group, ETH Zurich under the supervision of Dr. Frederic Guillaume and Prof. Sebastian Bonhoeffer to study the genetics of adaptation using both bioinformatics resources and computational modeling approaches. The position is funded for three years by ETH Zurich, starting between now and September 2010.
The project asks questions related to the evolution of pleiotropy and of the modular structure of the genotype-phenotype map in the context of phenotypic evolution in multivariate traits space. A first step will be to define meaningful ways of measuring pleiotropy or modularity of genes affecting phenotypic characters in order to accurately describe the constraints acting on their evolution and the variation of the modularity of the genotype-phenotype map in model systems. The second step will seek to integrate the type of observed patterns into models of phenotypic evolution in order to understand the evolutionary significance of variation of modularity of the genotype-phenotype map. Specific questions related to the genetics of adaptation will then be asked within this evolutionary model. The candidate will be encouraged to develop her/his own questions within this general framework. (more…)
