We are pleased to announce an intensive short course on using R to perform comparative methods to be held in Santa Barbara on June 11th to June 15th. This course is funded by the National Science Foundation, and a number of stipends to cover or defray travel, room, and board are available to qualified students and post-docs. Topics covered will include an introduction to the R programming language, tree manipulation, independent contrasts and phylogenetic generalized least squares, ancestral state reconstruction, models of character evolution, diversification analyses, and community phylogenetic analysis. If you are interested please submit your CV along with a short (maximum 1 page) description of your research interests, background, and reasons for taking the course. Admission is competitive, and the best applications come from students with data sets to analyze. International applicants are welcome.

Individuals from cultural, racial, linguistic, geographic and socioeconomic backgrounds that are currently underrepresented in science are especially encouraged to apply.
