Inspiring seminar by Andrew Millard this week for the York #Microbial_Life series. His lab's work with viruses in cow pats and slurry took me back to my PhD days sampling #phage from Cheshire farm puddles. @milja001.bsky.social, @biologyatyork.bsky.social, @york.ac.uk

Still time to apply for an exciting #BBSRC #PhD opportunity I am offering @biologyatyork.bsky.social with @seanmeaden.bsky.social & Hong Gao (Tees). Join an interdisciplinary team to study how viruses shape bacterial evolution and the spread of antibiotic resistance. Apply by 7th Jan bit.ly/4jfv9wx

Still a couple of days left to apply for this postdoc #job. With access to world-class facilities, you will unravel the DNA-packaging mechanisms used by #phages and the unusual #GeneTransferAgents, and explore the impact of these tiny machines on evolution, resistance, and biotech. @ukri.org #bbsrc

Fantastic @biologyatyork #Microbial_Life seminar yesterday by Mark Dillingham, @dillinghamlab.bsky.social 🧬🧪. An engaging talk and fascinating to hear about RecBCD, phage-host arms race, DNA mimics and the enigmatic retrons! Massive thanks to BIO-RAD, Starlab and BMKGENE for their sponsorship.

🚨Exciting #Postdoc opportunity in the Fogg & Antson labs: 3-year post based @biologyatyork.bsky.social to explore the #StructuralBiology & mechanism of viral DNA-packaging motors using cutting-edge #Cryo-EM, biophysical and molecular approaches. Apply by 9th Oct at bit.ly/3Iz3bOu #ScienceJobs
