Prof. Diethart Matthies (Plant Ecology, Department of Ecology, Faculty of Biology, Philipps-University Marburg) is looking for candidates for a three year PhD-position in plant population biology / conservation biology. The position should be filled as soon as possible. The subject of the PhD is not yet fixed and can be developed with the successful applicant. The position encompasses two hours of teaching in practical / field courses per week during term time, but these hours could also be given as a couple of blocks. Applicants must have a master’s degree in biology or similar and should have good statistical skills and ideally also a knowledge of flora and vegetation. Applications should be sent by email (matthies@staff.uni-marburg.de). Application deadline – January 31, 2019.
At the University of Bergen there are recruitment for two fully-funded 3–4 year post-doctoral positions. They are pretty open when it comes to specific research directions, tasks, qualifications and interests; and we are seeking motivated researchers with strong general ecological and quantitative backgrounds who are interested in and motivated by the opportunities arising in the intersection between field experimental ecology and macroecology; in working across different timescales and spatial scales; and in scaling from individuals via populations and communities to ecosystems. See the advertisements (below) for more details. Application deadline – February 10, 2019.

We are pleased to announce launching of digital repository of the Polish Botanical Society.
The service is available at https://pbsociety.org.pl/repository/
Repository is a database of documents related to the history of the Society and its ongoing initiatives. It will gather official publications and so-far unpublished materials, which constitute documentation of the Society’s scientific, popularizing, and organizational activities.
Submission deadline to the “Biostimulation and biofortification of crop plants” issue to be published in the Acta Agrobotanica journal in June 2019 has been prolonged to December 31, 2018.
On behalf of the organizers, we invite you to take part in the conference entitled “Forest at risk: Białowieża and beyond”. The Conference will be held on February 12–15, 2019 at the Faculty of Biology of the University of Warsaw, followed by a field session in the Białowieża Forest (February 14–15, 2019). Detailed information can be found:

Insufficient crop production and poor nutritional value of crops have become a vital global concern, affecting billions of people especially but not exclusively in developing world. To combat the problem of deficiencies of various essential nutrients in human diet and to enhance sustainable crop production, biofortification and biostimulation of crop plants emerge as complementary health-beneficial and cost-effective approaches. Use of biostimulants and trace elements enhances the growth and yield of plants as well protects them from various environmental stresses.
In order to address the challenges and opportunities of crop yield and quality improvement, we are pleased to inform that Acta Agrobotanica is going to launch an issue entitled “Biostimulation and biofortification of crop plants”, which will be published in June 2019. Our mission is to present for broader audience advances in physiological, biochemical, and molecular approaches as well as innovative crop management practices used to enhance healthy food production.
We sincerely invite you to submit or recommend a paper to our special issue. We cordially invite contributions (original articles, review articles, and short communications) focused on biostimulation and biofortification of crops including, but not limited to, the following areas:
The manuscript due date is October 30, 2018. Original research papers, reviews as well as short communications are eagerly invited.
On the Acta Agrobotanica home page you will find a section for manuscripts to be submitted for the issue “Biostimulation and biofortification of crop plants”.
The Guest Editor of the issue is:
Professor Mirza Hasanuzzaman, PhD
Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture
Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University
