The congress consists of plenary talks, invited talks and contribution talks at 12 mini-symposiuns. Please make your registration before July 20 if you like to participate the congress because the congress location is inside of the biggest hydropower plant (ITAIPU Technology Park) in the world which requires early registration to guarantee your entrance.

Lord Kelvin/Adam Smith Research Fellow and 2 Postdoctoral Research Associates University of Glasgow The functioning of large multi-species communities of microbes has an enormous impact on people's lives: they clean the environment, corrode materials, make soil fertile and can cause disease. In the Civil Engineering department at the University of Glasgow we are engaged in a concerted research effort to develop mathematical models of microbial communities informed by the new molecular methods and imaging tools for characterizing microbial communities. We require 3 numerate, highly motivated postdoctoral researchers with a background in mathematical biology, theoretical ecology or mathematical modelling. The candidates will be expected to conduct independent research within a multidisciplinary team. 1. Lord Kelvin/Adam Smith postdoctoral research fellowship. This highly prestigious 3 year research fellowship will be awarded to an exceptional candidate who can demonstrate their own research agenda in modelling microbial communities. The modelling should be aimed at promoting a fundamental understanding of microbial communities that will ultimately inform design in environmental biotechnology. Application by 14th July 2006 details on http://www.gla.ac.uk/services/humanresources/recruit/kelvinsmith.htm 2. Postdoctoral research associate in modelling biofilms. This 3 year postdoctoral appointment is funded by a European Science Foundation grant. The aim is to develop a new modelling framework where biofilms are treated in an analogous manner to landscapes in main stream ecology. 3. Postdoctoral research associate in modelling bacterial population dynamics in microbial fuel cells. This appointment is for 39 months and is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research council as part of the SUPERGEN consortium on biological fuel cells. The successful candidate will develop a numerical model of the biofilm on the anode of a microbial fuel cell. Applications for 2 and 3. CV and covering letter by 21st July 2006 to Dr Bill Sloan, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Glasgow sloan@civil.gla.ac.uk.
