This seems like an incredible opportunity!

I'm hiring postdoc in my lab to work on temporal dynamics of sorghum root microbiome assembly! This position is funded by the Moore Foundation through UGA, and would be perfect for someone finishing up their PhD this spring. Details here: chunglab.franklinresearch.uga.edu/join-lab

So excited to share my latest piece on amazing new work led by @nicolasleonlouw.bsky.social! Check it out if you like caves full of cheese, fungus, and/or cool science!!

Such a delight to share our work on the evolution of a cheese rind fungus in @currentbiology.bsky.social. This is the fantastic PhD work of @nicolasleonlouw.bsky.social and resulted from amazing collaborations, a wedding proposal(!), an undergrad course, & more! 🧵 www.cell.com/current-biol...

Amazing real world (well, real cheese makers) evolution of Penicillium over 8 years from @benwolfe.bsky.social. "The most common genetic disruption of the alb1 genomic region was caused by putative transposable element insertions upstream of the gene.". Causes the fungus to grow better in the dark!

🍄 UGA Plant Pathology is hiring TT faculty in Mycology/Fungal Biology/Fungal Ecology at the Asst/Assc level! Please pass along this opportunity to anyone you know who may be interested. I'm on the search committee and happy to answer questions. 🍄 www.ugajobsearch.com/postings/445...
