Tenure track Professorship Plant Biochemistry. Tübingen, Germany #plantscience #plantscijobs #plantscijob www.academics.de/jobs/tenure-...

Have you ever looked at some differentially occurring gene clusters in a microbial #pangenome and thought to yourself "I wonder if they contribute to any metabolic modules"? With the most recent changes, the answer is a few clicks away in #anvio 😇

Call for a tenure-track position at our Department of Plant Molecular Biology in Lausanne! We are searching for promising early-career researchers in the broad field of plant-organismal interactions. Deadline: November 30, 2025 - Please re-post! career5.successfactors.eu/career?caree...

This looks like a great opportunity: #Tenure-track assistant #professor position at University of Lausanne on #MPMI career5.successfactors.eu/career?caree...

Starting in 3h or so - we will be discussing why and how we should be defining cell types and states - I expect really stimulating conversation and important suggestions for how to (not) use the terminology! #PlantScience @oli-wilkins.bsky.social @bas-bargmann.bsky.social @b-coli.bsky.social
