We're searching for a postdoc to work on insect-microbe symbiosis at UNC Chapel Hill ~ Project is flexible (funded from startup) with support for independence and collaboration in our broad Bio department. Details + apply: parkerlab.net/open-positions

New preprint from @pawley.bsky.social @scottnichols.bsky.social is a great testament to how intentional imaging helps untangle potential functions and mechanisms of host-microbe interactions The discovery of an external bacterial niche reconciles sequencing-based microbiomes in a freshwater sponge

The Lariviere lab at UMiami is recruiting PhD students! Incoming students will join us in studying host-microbe interactions in the honey bee gut, using molecular and genetic approaches. Please see the attached flyer for more details. #Symbiosis #SymbioSky #MicroSky #PhDOpportunity #AcademicJobs

Super excited to share the results of one of my favorite projects, out now in PNAS! We uncovered the mechanism of protection against fungal pathogens in the aphid-Fukatsuia symbiosis. (1/2) www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
