I am hiring a research/technical specialist/manager to help us make the most out of new LC-MS instrumentation at USC! Please share the word and write me for more details. usc.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Extern...

I've usually followed the principle of trying to establish the set of figures before writing text while working on papers. But I just realized this doesn't seem to work for me when writing proposals: I have to organize the ideas with text first before deciding what figures I need.

Opening for a Ph.D. student in the group of Tobias Bollenbach at U. Cologne studying biological physics and systems biology. Outstanding group and scientific environment in my opinion: jobportal.uni-koeln.de/ausschreibun...

Hi BlueSky friends! Postdoc(s) available in my lab! Multiple projects on how bacterial genomic and functional diversity impacts microbial interactions & disease. 🦠🧫 See www.thelewinlab.com/join-us/post... for more information. Please RT & share. #Postdoc #Microbiology #OralMicro #VaginalMicro

Great to see our paper published! We show that the presence of another species doesn't necessarily influence evolution. @jfriedman.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/c/1jxht8YyDf... Thanks to the anonymous reviewers for their constructive comments!

We are hiring at all prof ranks in synthetic biology, loosely defined. Even if you don't consider synbio to be your main focus but maybe you develop genetic tools, have some applied research in the mix, work with defined communities, etc, you should apply. jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/660751/m...

Why are there so many fitness metrics in microbial ecology? I was confused as I started the PhD - and with @michaelmanhart.bsky.social , I developed a framework that unifies existing statistics of relative fitness and shows how they all derive from a few basic principles. Preprint is up! 1/n

One of the hardest parts of being a PI is knowing when to step in to help a student. Too early and you curtail important growth. Too late and resentment and frustration creep in. It's a knife edge.

Has anyone used automation instruments from Molecular Devices (mainly robotic arm for plate handling)?

It's official. Thanks to the MIRA grant, my lab gets to live to fight another day (or, more accurately, five years :). We are now actively recruiting. Please spread the word and reach out if you are interested doing a postdoc with me. One position is available jointly with Terry Hwa's lab. Exciting!
