🚨Job opportunity: My lab is hiring a postdoc to join us at KU Ecology & Evolutionary Biology . We are an evolutionary genomics lab interested in the role gene expression evolution in adaptation & speciation. Details: employment.ku.edu/staff/27747BR Please share widely!

Congratulations to my postdoc advisor and forever mentor Michael Purugganan Lab on this amazing achievement. BTW Michael is looking for postdocs. I had a great time at his lab and can guarantee other people will as well!

Registration for #MWPG24 is now open! There are talk slots and posters available for trainees, so please come and present your work. docs.google.com/forms/d/1GH2W6…

Guess how much companies ask for overhead on SBIR/STTR grants

Huh. What's up with Kansas?

It's amazing to see my postdoc Surbhi recognized by the ASPB society!

Some things that have been rattling around in my head for a while related to why conflict and meiosis and immune function can function as an engine of adaptation, with respect to TEs. doi.org/10.1016/j.semc…

Please say hi to my postdoc and check her research if you're at #npnextgen!

I’m glad to be at Next-generation Scientist conference #npnextgen New Phytologist. If you are in conference please visit my poster # 28 to know more about my research.

Anybody know a good method for analyzing and visualizing tandem repeat structures in nanopore long reads?

Do folks know a repository that will take native #nanopore pod5 files? We tried SRA and they don't accept it. Only the old fast5s.

I can't believe it!🤯 Beyond thrilled to announce that our lab is now funded a NIH #R35 #MIRA award and support our research in #telomere molecular evolution. So thankful to members of my lab, mentors and colleagues who helped tremendously🥲. We will be hiring soon stay tuned!

My lab is looking for a postdoctoral scholar. See image or jychoilab.github.io/docs/Ads/ChoiL… If you're a plant geneticist or mol biologist and appreciate the wonders of evolution this is a position for you. We can teach dry lab or genomics so plz consider if you want to learn a new skill!

Just found out my grad student Askhan Shametov was awarded the SSE Lewontin award! So thankful to the society for giving this exciting opportunity to Khan! Khan will use the award to study rec rate evolution in Hawaiian Metrosideros KU Biology KU Center for Genomics

Are you interested in a postdoc with both research and teaching? Please consider the NIH IRACDA fellowship at KU iracda.ku.edu. If interested I can sponsor especially if you're a plant biologist or evo biologist. Eligibility is limited to US citizen or PR. Please share!

Does anybody know the history of the k99 award and why it's the only federal grant that allows international scholars to apply?
