<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear colleagues:<BR>Please distribute this
information to potential students.<BR><BR>International Master's Programme in
Ecology and Evolution<BR><BR>The Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Studies
at the University of Groningen (Netherlands) organizes a highly successful
master's programme on the interface between ecology and evolution. This two-year
"top master" programme is designed to provide an optimal preparation for a
subsequent PhD programme and eventually for a scientific career in academic
research. Through intensive student-teacher interaction during courses,
seminars, practicals and individual research projects, students get an intense
training in modern research paradigms and techniques. Much emphasis will be
placed on the development of critical thinking and the training in "soft skills"
like efficient commun­ication or writing grant proposals. The programme is
highly selective and aimed at the brightest and most ambitious students from all
over the world. A fellowship, covering tuition and subsistence costs, may be
made available to qualified candidates. The deadline for application is
1 February 2007. For more information visit <A
