The Department of Bioinformatics and Genetics at the Swedish Museum of Natural History is looking to fill a position as research leader of a large, five-year project in comparative insect biomics funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. The aim is to use metabarcoding of Malaise trap and soil samples to study the size, origins, structure and function of the insect faunas and associated microbiomes in Sweden and on Madagascar. We are looking for a candidate with a research background in relevant fields and excellent organizational and leadership skills.

Vi påminner härmed att det är dags att logga in på Svenska systematikföreningens hemsida och kontrollera att man betalat sin medlemsavgift! När man loggat in hittar man uppgiften om för vilket år man senast betalat, under sitt namn uppe i högra hörnet (klicka på namnet, under välkomsthälsningen). Information om föreningens konto finns under Medlem – Medlemsavgift och betalning. Alla är alltså varmt välkomna att betala, både för innevarande år (om man inte redan gjort så) samt för kommande år! När man betalar för 2018 kommer den inbetalningen att räknas fram till augusti 2019, eftersom föreningen såsom meddelats idag på årsmötet planerar att gå över från att medlemsavgifterna betalas för kalenderår till att avgifterna betalas per verksamhetsår (september till augusti). Tack! mvh Styrelsen!
