Hi all,
This may not apply to many of you directly but you may have colleagues, or know of graduate students who are close to graduating in this field that you could encourage to apply.
Salve currently has a Tenure-Track position open for an Animal Physiologist/Biologist, in particular we are most interested in an invert person who can work with marine organisms, in addition, if they look at either the behavior or neuro aspects it would be a plus. They would have a strong interest in working with Undergraduate students.
Salve is a great place to work, and the department is very close and works very well together. The students are bright and work hard. There are also opportunities for funding through either the RI EPSCoR programs, or through RI INBRE. Not to mention living in Newport RI which is a certainly a perk!
I have attached the job description below, if you know of anyone who could fit this description and be on the job market right now, please encourage them to apply, or contact me if they need any further information.
Thanks all!

Hello everybody!
Can’t believe it is November! I hope you all have had a productive fall and are ready for winter.
This is a last call for nominations for this years election for RosExec. As it stands, we have a total of seven people (five from the US, and two of our international liaisons).
I have received five nominations for US people and two for international Liaisons. I am in the process of contacting them and making sure they are still interested in running. Are there any other arms we can twist to get a larger pool? If so, could you let me know and I will contact them.
I will have voting open mid november, in time for this years RosEXEC meeting in January.

Hello everyone,
We currently have several options for pre- and post-conference tours for RGC7. Descriptions for the tours can be found at http://www.rosaceae.org/conferences/rgc7/tours. We are trying to determine if there is enough interest for further planning for these pre- and post-tours in order to provide those interested with the cost for the tours.
We have heard from a few people, but would like to know from more attendees which pre- and post-tours are of the most interest. By letting us know which tours you are interested in now, you will not be obligated to register for the tour. We are only gauging interest to see if there will be enough people to make these tours cost-effective.
Please email which tour options you might be interested in to rgc7(a)rosacae.org<mailto:rgc7@rosacae.org> by October 31st.
Thank you,
Jodi

Hello everybody!
I hope you all had a wonderful and productive summer and are all ready for the fall to start!
It is now time to start thinking about RosExec elections for the upcoming year.
Five US people will be rotating off at the end of this year (Kate Evans, Jay Norelli, Mercey Olmstead, Janet Slovin, and Vance Whitaker).
Now, looking at the numbers, we will have the following make up next year with those left:
Inst: Univ 6, Gvt 4, Ind 2
Region: South 2, West 6, East 4
So we really need people from industry and/or the South to help bolster representation.
We will be looking for nominations over the next few weeks. If you know of someone who may be interested in serving on RosExec, please have them contact me and I can help them, or send me their information and I can contact them. We will need a short Bio from them.
I have a timeline in place as follows:
Nominations to me By Oct 15, 2013
Voting will be carried out Between Nov 1-15, 2013
Secretary nominations and Election Early December
Announcement of Results at PAG
Once again, hope you are looking forward to your new semesters and look forward to catching up with you soon!

Dear Rosaceae Community Members,
As part of an effort to standardize data for inclusion in GDR we would like to form a work group to come up with a standardized nomenclature for SNPs. If you would be interested in participating in this work group please let us know and we can start the process.

Hi Folks,
We are currently implementing a new version of GDR, so the site will likely be down for the rest of the day. We will send out an email when it's back online.
Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
