I will be recruiting two PhDs for my ERC Project HERDPATH - let's discover out how livestock and pathogens evolved together using
#aDNA
. Projects will be animal or pathogen focused but will be in dialogue. Details at my quaint website below. Deadline 3rd October.

Shameless promotion from
#isba11
- I'll be hiring PhDs to start early 2026 (plus postdocs starting later), using
#adna
to study livestock and pathogen coevolution, particularly looking at inbreeding and immune gene evolution! Contact me at kevin[at]palaeome.org, full ad to come. Please share!

Their DNA survives in diverse populations across the world – but who were the Denisovans?
The discovery of a finger bone in a cave in Siberia some 15 years ago kicked off a race to unravel the mysteries of an entirely new group of humanoids.
