Please pass along - We've extended the CAMBIUM fellowship deadline to December 15! Our NSF NRT supports new grad students to harness biodiversity big data to adapt to & mitigate climate change impacts. Great fit for evolutionary genomics, bioinformatics, ecology & more. cambium.arizona.edu 🧬🌐🌎

Amy Angert and I are recruiting a #postdoc to participate in a collaborative NSF-funded study of demographic responses to climate across the geographic range of the scarlet monkeyflower. Please repost! jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/224...

I'm recruiting PhD students for the Barker Lab @uofa-eeb.bsky.social We study plant evolutionary genomics - polyploidy, hybridization & machine learning for genome evolution. Work with Selaginella, Xanthisma, Brassica & more. Funding available via CAMBIUM Fellowships. Reach out if interested! 🧬🌵🤖

A common type of ant in Europe breaks a fundamental rule in biology: its queens can produce male offspring that are a whole different species go.nature.com/4mOb5T9

I'm looking for a graduate student (either PhD or master's) to join my lab starting Jan 2026. If you know any students in social behavior and evolution (and termites!), please let them know!

go.bsky.app/8zZNEGV Great resource to connect early career folks with more senior scientists looking to hire postdocs! 🧪

I made one for PhD students as well and I'm recruiting to make ones for PIs! bsky.app/starter-pack...

Simons Graduate Fellowships in Ecology and Evolution Award: $265,800 for 3 years worth of full time support Eligibility: entering or applying for Ph.D. programs in biology or a subfield of the life sciences during fall 2025 Deadline: LOI due July 31, 2025 www.simonsfoundation.org/grant/simons... 🧪 🧠

Hello World! After almost a month of starting a research group - finally the announcement :) We are the 'Active Sensing Collectives' group (tinyurl.com/yckehxys) at the CASCB in the University of Konstanz. We're still growing, see PhD position ad below. @cbehav.bsky.social @uni-konstanz.de z.de

Social insect and cognition postdocs, check these positions in Berlin, with super nice supervisor Tomer! :)

This one is also excellent go.bsky.app/2gr4VJ5

Dr. Burman accomplished what many conservationists around the world fail to do- involving community in the conservation process and making the bird a part of local cultural Zeitgeist! Hope her work inspires more such endeavors!

Ok, I made a new starter pack: Science Job Accounts! I want to try & collect together account that are likely to post jobs/internships/employment opportunities in science. It is heavily US/Ecology based (and would probably be better as a feed). Please suggest other accounts!! go.bsky.app/QPGnfWu

Great opportunity to get funding to come to Cambridge!

A bit more of my work... Hope that you enjoyed it! 🐜🌇🌃 #ants #UrbanTemperatures #AnimalsActivity In collaboration with @tomerczaczkes.bsky.social Graphical abstract by @theafenogaster.bsky.social Link 👉🏼 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Great paper from @tomerczaczkes.bsky.social, Federico-Javier Olivera-Rodriguez, and @curiousant.bsky.social! Individual ants modulate pheromone trail reinforcement w.r.t distance of the food source from the nest, but do not modulate compete against outdated trail.

At least in my experience, science discussions are increasingly becoming more transactional than conversational (Especially post-pandemic period). What do you think about this?

Very timely article on declining fieldwork experience among ecologists amidst changing natural and technological landscape! It would be interesting to further study if fieldwork is indeed declining or becoming hyper focused on a very few systems(in specific geographies). Soga and Gaston 2025.

Great read! This has given me a lot to think about! www.experimental-history.com/p/underrated...

Ants can hold grudges against their opponents! Bey et al. 2025: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Rescue behavior is more likely to be seen in ants if the workers are long-lived. Turza et al. 2024 academic.oup.com/beheco/advan...

Cooperation reduces metabolic rates (switch from continuous to discontinuous gas exchange) in harvester ant queens! Clark et. al. 2025 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I have a PhD position open to start fall semester 2025! The position will include investigations of the structure of both phenotypic (behavioral) plasticity and genetic variation in behavior as well as lots of opportunity to develop your own project. #Evolution #evobio #evolsky #Ecology 🧪

Reminder that there's one week left to apply for this job. Please pass on the information to anyone who might be interested!

hey everyone! i made a list of some useful starter packs (primarily biology/earth sciences with a few bonus things thrown in) to share with friends who have joined bsky in the last week and thought it may be useful for some people here too! 🌍🧪 #SciSky #BioSky docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I'm looking for a graduate student (master's level) to join my lab starting Fall 2025. If you know any undergraduates interested in termite behavior and evolution, please let them know!

I am recruiting graduate students this year to join my lab in Tucson! If you are interested in studying the evolution of plant diversity, polypoidy, and chromosomal evolution, please reach out about opportunities in my lab! Details about applying to EEB and our new CAMBIUM NRT in the thread below! 🧪

If you are looking to do a PhD in the beautiful Sonoran desert, please apply!!! We have an amazing EEB department with a great grad student community!!!

Recently added Matina, Jon, and Kate to the starter pack! Loving finding our 🐜🐜🐜 folks from all over! go.bsky.app/zo95qR

I was looking for an #Entomology Starter Pack but I couldn't find one - so I started to build one! It's already morphing into more of a list of invertebrate aficionado/lovers. Did I miss you? Aplogies! Reply to this post and I'll remedy that! #StarterPack #Invertebrate go.bsky.app/7CaCbMC
