We are hiring! We’re excited to recruit a postdoc to our lab at UC Davis to work on plant immune engineering and single-cell analyses of plant pathogen interactions. Apply by June 1. Please repost. www.coakerlab.org/postdoctoral...

What a nice day: Great people that I know getting tenure, getting into the national academy, or wrapping up their last PhD Committee meeting as they think about future postdoc positions. Science is awesome and the people that make it happen are awesome. Keep pushing forward everyone.

Congrats to @jrossibarra.bsky.social on being elected to NAS!!! 🌽💻🧬🎉

Please circulate: I will have a postdoc opening soon, ideally with a start date sometime this summer or fall. If you're interested in empirical population genetics, computational methods development, and/or evolutionary modeling via simulation, don't hesitate to reach out. For more info on the lab:

I'm hiring a postdoc (start date flexible) and a PhD student (for Fall 2027) to work in any area of computational phylogenetics! More info here: mhibbins.github.io I will be attending both PEQG and Evolution in June, so please reach out if you want to chat at these meetings!

Thank you @adrigov.bsky.social for the nice summary in Plantae.org of our paper!

Excited to share our new preprint! 🍇🧬 We analyzed 639 genomes across 48 grape species to understand how hybridization drives adaptation. • ~14% of average Vitis genome is introgressed • Most parallel adaptations are shared via gene flow • Two "hybrid species" are actually hybrid swarms

I am seeking a postdoc to join my group at UCLA -- ideally the candidate would have some experience in either population genetics or microbes/microbiome (computational background needed). We have a range of projects and are happy to tailer to your interests. Please dm/email me if interested.

Interested in working to apply ARGs to real data in messy plant genomes? (Yeah it sounds hard). DM or email!

Friends, please help spread the word about our microbiology REU program at Montana State University. www.montana.edu/mbi/reu/ Each student receives a stipend ($7000 for 10 wks). Travel compensation, room, and board are also provided. Details in the attached pic--Feb 14 deadline 🧫🧪🦠#microsky

Congrats @jeffgroh.bsky.social et al. Some avocado trees open female-phase flowers in the morning & then male in afternoon. Others show complementary pattern (m->f), to synchronize pollination of two types. Jeff show this to be a >45Mya polymorphism at a transcription factor across 100s of species.

Check out our new paper! :)

Our plant-focused REU program, led by Prof Nagel, is open for applications, please forward to undergrads and reskeet etap.nsf.gov/award/7573/o... 🌱 🧪

Hello bluesky community! I'm hiring a postdoc to do machine learning in population genetics. Starting to build up a lab at Indiana University Bloomington where I just started a faculty position. Apply with the below link: indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/30325

Looking forward to my lecture on Wednesday @ucriverside.bsky.social in the Botany & Plant Sciences seminar series! I’ll present some of our recent work on forward time whole genome sims & demographic inference in the polyploid continuum. See y’all there? plantbiology.ucr.edu/seminars

Congratulations to @jeffgroh.bsky.social on the publication of his paper on an ancient balanced polymorphisms controlling heterodichogamy in two genera of wingnuts. The paper shows the putative turnover & reversal of dominance of a mating type polymorphism www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Paper is finally out!! Thanks to reviewers we dig deeper on the differences between domestication events -spoiler alert: it doesn't matter that much. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

I'm recruiting a postdoc for my group (based in beautiful Eugene, OR). Please get in touch if you're interested, esp if you'd like to chat at #ASHG25!

We're excited to be recruiting an NIH funded postdoc to work in the Coop lab at UC Davis. We're specifically interested in candidates who are want to work at the intersection of human genetics, GWAS, and population genetics modeling. Please RT

I keep trying to get people to recognize that my having a PhD says a lot more about me being stubborn than me being smart.

Please share! I'm looking for a postdoc. The position is to lead one of the following projects: 1) regulation of plant specialized metabolism by cell fate, or 2) foliar embryogenesis in the succulent plant Kalanchoe. Learn more abt projects: cxli233.github.io/cxLi_lab/res...

I'm hiring a computational biologist interested in complex trait genetics using deep learning approaches. Reach out to me, if interested.

*Postdoc in Evolutionary genomics at Stockholm University* We are recruiting a postdoc for a large interdisciplinary project to investigate evolutionary drivers and genomic consequences of pollen evolution in response to pollination mode shifts in flowering plants. 1/5 su.varbi.com/what:job/job...

Please share broadly: I am looking for a postdoctoral fellow to work on a collaborative project on the temporal population genomics of invasive Capeweed (using contemporary and herbarium genomics), with ‪‪@shaky-dingo.bsky.social‬ and colleagues

@emccnicotiana.bsky.social @jlandisbotany.bsky.social any thoughts on this?

Don’t be afraid to share your writing. There are six Sharknado movies.

Wonderful (and humble) essay on mentorship by Brandon Gaut, on occasion of Brandon receiving the inaugural Mentorship Award of @genetics-gsa.bsky.social. I hope this will be widely read! academic.oup.com/genetics/art...

I am seeking a postdoc for my group at UCLA. We work at the intersection of population genetics x microbiome (garud.eeb.ucla.edu). If interested, please message me!

Sad to be missing #SMBE2025. But, the lab will be represented with presentations from (all on Wednesday): Swetha Ramesh (at 11:50 in Symp 17, Noncoding) Chenlu Di (at 12:05 in Symp 17, Noncoding) Diana A Gomez (at 15:45 in Symp 19, Con Gen) Aina Mi Zurita (at 16:40 in Symp 22, Theory Adv)

Please RT! I'm hiring a postdoc to work in my new lab at UCSB (!) on an NSF-funded project investigating the phenotypic consequences of WGD for photosynthesis and respiration. Check out the full posting here: recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02986 And more info about the lab here: sharbroughlab.com

Very cool walkthrough showing how a LLM works… I think I’m going to have to go through this at least 10 more times: bbycroft.net/llm

@galenm.bsky.social @fiscuscj.bsky.social @bsgaut.bsky.social analyzed SNPs altering RNA secondary structure in A. thaliana, finding reduced diversity and allele frequency for these mutations, suggesting purifying selection in UTRs, and lower expression. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf126 #evobio

Excited to share our new paper in @molbioevol.bsky.social , led by @galenm.bsky.social !!! We show that mutations affecting RNA secondary structure in *Arabidopsis thaliana* are shaped by selection and linked to gene expression and the environment. 🔗 academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...

Happy to see this out! @reginafairbanks.bsky.social analysis of perhaps the most famous maize domestication locus, teosinte glume architecture 1, which controls much of the change from the enclosed fruitcase (top) in teosinte to the "naked" grains of maize (bottom) www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 1/2

Presidential budget is out. Here's NSF. Biggest cut, by amount, is $1 billion, or 66.8%, from MPS (Physics & Math directorate). nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/00-NSF...

Recently, the head of the FDA - Dr. Marty Makary - said that we should swap insulin for cooking classes to treat diabetes. This is a ridiculous thing to say. Not just because it's insulting, but also because cooking classes don't really work. My new piece: gidmk.substack.com/p/you-cant-r...

Our work on the landscape genomics of *Vitis arizonica* is now published in @newphyt.bsky.social !!! Big thanks to Jonás Aguirre-Liguori, Garren Gaut, and Brandon Gaut (all sadly not on bsky) for making this possible!

This is an important read for #sciencesky #academicsky #socialscisky. But one I don’t recommend if you’re concerned about your blood pressure. www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st...

According to a 2021 report, the University of California system: • generated $82B in economic activity in California • supported 529K jobs in the state • generated $21 in economic output for every $1 received Public divestment from higher ed makes no sense, even in the narrowest economic terms.

Outstanding presentation of the devastating cuts at NSF and their impact across multiple areas of scientific research and training. Angry at the impact now and in the long-term to US research. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Excited to share our work on using pathway-specific polygenic scores to discover gene-environment interactions www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
