Meeting requests\/coordination for the PEC candidate visits will be administered by the Botany Department. If you’d like to meet with any of the below short listed candidates, please contact Isabel Ferens (isabel.ferens@botany.ubc.ca<\/a>).\u00a0 Due to widespread interest in several departments, we ask that you request group meetings versus individual meetings.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Again, the seminars will be on day 1 at 12pm in the Beaty Auditorium. <\/span><\/p>\n
