Subject: Conference: Systems Biology, Nov 16-18, Lyon, France

LyonSysBio is the yearly international conference organized by BioSyL
the Systems Biology Alliance of Lyon (http://www.biosyl.org/).

Our goal is to promote exchanges between scientists from different
disciplines (biology, mathematics, computer sciences, physics, social
sciences) who are interested in the analysis of the wealth of data
generated by modern biology, as well as the construction of the
necessary modeling tools to gain system level thoughtful insights.

In 2016, the conference will be held from November 16th to 18th. Keynote
lectures will be delivered by invited speakers, on state-of-the-art
advances in various domains of Systems Biology (list available on the
conference website).

In addition, the conference program leaves ample space for contributed
talks and posters for which proposals are welcome. We wish to favor
results from truly multidisciplinary works.

Please use the online system to submit a one-page abstract (maximum 500
words, in English) by October 10th, 2016:
http://lyonsysbio2016.sciencesconf.org To register and to submit an
abstract, you will have to create a sciencesconf.org account by filling
the on-line registration and submission forms.

Similarly to our previous editions, registration will be free but
mandatory for students. Registration fees for non-students will be of

Subject: Post-doc: Control of Invasive Species, U Canterbury, NZ

Postdoctoral Fellow - Large-scale control of invasive predators

Geospatial Research Institute
-Full-time (37.5 hours per week)
-3 year fixed-term position

The Geospatial Research Institute, in partnership with Te Punaha
Matatini, seeks a postdoctoral research fellow to work on
socio-ecological models of large-scale predator control. The New Zealand
government recently announced the ambitious goal of completely
eradicating exotic predators by 2050. To achieve this goal will require
a massive coordinated effort across the country's publicly and privately
owned land areas. Key stakeholders in this effort include the Department
of Conservation, regional councils, NGOs and private landowners. The
current "Cape-to-City" (C2C) predator control programme in Hawkes Bay
and its potential extension across four regions in the lower North
Island are the first steps towards predator-free New Zealand.

The aim of this research project is to use socio-ecological models to
assess the feasibility of scaling-up predator control outside
traditional conservation areas and to inform decisions about resource
allocation. These models will be combine ecological population dynamics
models with geospatial information on land ownership and data on
landowner attitudes to participation in pest control programmes.

As the successful candidate, you will be based in the Geospatial
Research Institute at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, and
will also be part of Te Punaha Matatini via its early career researcher
network. You will have a PhD in mathematics, statistics or related
subject, as well as advanced skills in Geospatial Sciences, excellent
communication skills and experience in collaborating with researchers
from different disciplines. A formal background in biology or sociology
is not necessary, but an interest in these subjects is essential.

The Geospatial Research Institute Toi Hangarau, is a broadly-conceived
research institute at the University of Canterbury that conducts
innovative research across the geospatial research spectrum. Our mission
is to provide a national centre of gravity for geospatial research, to
provide the underpinning research that enables New Zealand to more fully
realize the benefits of spatial information technology.
