Opp: Taxonomy training (on the job)
The Distributed European School of Taxonomy (DEST), originally funded by the EC in the framework of the EDIT project, has now launched the Expert-in-Training programme 2011-2012. The training courses will enable graduate students and early career researchers to develop and strengthen their taxonomic research skills through on-the-job-training at a European university/research institute.
The programme includes a great diversity of topics and covers groups from diatoms and fruit flies up to primates. On-the-job-training emphasizes practical experiences in morphological and molecular techniques, bio-informatics and other taxonomic research skills.
