Dear EvolDir members:

The Master in Evolutionary Biology at Complutense University of Madrid 
(Spain) is about to open its application period for the new course, 
starting in autumn 2013.

The Master is an official postgraduate program directed to students 
seeking a comprehensive introduction to the major questions in 
evolutionary biology. To complete the program, students have to complete 
60 ECTS credits. All students take four compulsory courses (The genetic 
basis of evolution, Natural selection and adaptation, Phylogenetic 
Systematics, Patterns and processes in macroevolution, each 6 ECTS) and 
produce a Master's Thesis (12 ECTS). The program is completed with four 
other 6-credit courses, to be chosen among the following: Molecular 
phylogenies, Phylogeography and its applications, Animal phylogeny, 
Evolution and phylogeny of plants, Life-history evolution, Mechanisms of 
speciation in plants, Principles of experimental design in ecology, Data 
analysis in ecology and evolution, Methods in evolutionary biology.

Information about the Master: 
http://www.ucm.es/info/zoo/evolucion/inicio.html

Prospective students should submit applications 21 May 2013 - 17 Jun 
2013 (there may be another application period in autumn, which will open 
only if there are available places: 4-11 Sep 2013). All required 
information about the documents required to complete applications is 
available at the university website.

Best regards,

Javier Pérez-Tris
