Dream job!
Great colleagues!
Great college town!

Amazing opportunity to work at the frontiers of chemical genetics, cell biology, and evolution and explore important scientific questions with a wonderful, supportive mentor. Check it out! 👇

I want to make sure that the evolutionary microbiologists see this job ad! Come join us at GT- it's a super interdisciplinary and collaborative environment, and Atlanta is a great place to live / raise a family (seriously- I've never been more happy with where I live than here!).

Review process starting this week, please apply if interested!

We’re officially hiring postdocs for our NSF BII INSITE!!! Postdoctoral scholar in Microbial Symbiosis and/or Mathematical Biology (Multiple Hires) (JPF01411) aprecruit.ucmerced.edu/JPF01411

Very proud of Suegene Noh for this excellent work on the genomes of Dictyostelium symbionts, 2 species with very reduced genomes and 1 with genome size not different from other related Paraburkholderia! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

I had a wonderful time visiting Alicia S. Solodujin: I learned a ton about 🐝,🐜, and other social insects, I heard about the great science students & post-docs are doing at @ASU and I saw so many stunning 🌴 on a gorgeous campus. Thank you to my generous hosts Brian Smith & Jason Newbern!

Our perspectives paper with Denise Dearing and Jonathan Gershenzon on detoxifying symbionts in herbivores is out in 'Symbiosis'. Thanks to both for the wonderful collaboration and great discussions!

OMG the video abstract is amazing

I am looking for a 1-yr postdoc to join my lab Biology at Edinburgh in Edinburgh work on sex determination and chromosome behaviour in flies (nope not drosophila) please RT

I'm compiling a list of papers that showed novel biochemistry (e.g. carbon fixation pathways, immunity, hydrogen metabolism) using metagenomics, and years later, these hypotheses were validated by lab work. If you know any paper(s), please comment here.

Excited to share our recent paper in ISME J on the chemical defense of Lagria beetle larvae by Burkholderia symbionts, spearheaded by Rebekka Janke and Laura Flórez:
