Have you recently read about a particular field in depth? Perhaps you have just finished your PhD thesis? @jevbio.bsky.social is seeking Review Articles! Find out more about Reviews and Target Reviews at JEB here: academic.oup.com/jeb/pages/re...

Applications for the MEME programme (www.evobio.eu ) are now open! MEME is a research- and mobility-oriented master’s in evolutionary biology (& I’m a proud alumna!), jointly run by the Unis of Groningen, Uppsala, Montpellier, and LMU Munich, with Harvard and Lausanne as partners. Spread the word!

2 job adverts on a NERC project w myself + @darrenobbard.bsky.social on “What determines the virome: ecology and the environment, evolution, or species history?” early 2026 in @uniexecec.bsky.social - Postdoc: jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecr... - RA: jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecr... Pls share!

📢New preprint on the impact of dengue virus genetic diversity on inhibition by Wolbachia 🦟🦠🧬 Project led by Afeez Sodeinde, @emiliefinch.bsky.social, and @keli5734.bsky.social! ✨ Key findings in thread below 👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🚨Introducing the @sortee.bsky.social Guidelines for Data and Code Quality Control in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology🚨 doi.org/10.32942/X24... Increasingly E&E journals are recruiting data editors. We provide standardised guidelines for journals with data editors and those wanting to recruit them 🧵

📣 I'm recruiting a postdoc researcher to join my team for a project on mosquito-specific viruses and host interactions. Peep the job description & how to apply below. Perfect for soon-to-be or recent PhD graduates in mosquito vector biology 🦟 or arbovirology 🦠 🗓️ Application deadline 31 August 2025

Very happy to have had time to sit with Gemma Venhuizen from NRC to chat about viruses! (if you are a Dutch speaker) www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

I'm thinking of organising a meeting on endogenous viral elements (RNA, DNA and retroviral) - if you'd potentially be interested, please fill out the form here - forms.gle/wrCiWMw4yXZe... - so I can gauge interest. Please RT or share with anyone maybe interested! 🧪🧬🖥️🦠 #virology #bioinformatics

It all starts with an ‘how it should be easy enough right’ on a Friday evening drink with colleagues. About two years later we finally have a genome, but it wasn’t as easy as thought (it never is, right?). Happy to see the preprint out!

Please share with people interested in arbovirology. We are looking for an enthusiastic colleague to strengthen our team please share if you know of scientists interested in arbovirology, ready to make a move to Rotterdam! www.academictransfer.com/en/jobs/3508...

We're looking for a PhD student to join us at Vilnius University in Lithuania. We work on RNA virus evolution computationally but we'd like to generate more mosquito RNA virus sequence data. Official ad: www.gmc.vu.lt/en/doctoral-.... Please share & continue reading if interested.

Check out our latest study "Comparative performance of novel viral landscape phylogeography approaches", which is now available as a preprint on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... @ulbruxelles.bsky.social @ulbrecherche.bsky.social - 1/8

Very happy to see our Endogenous Viral Element workflow detectEVE published today in Molecular Ecology Resources. Open for all to read, and use of course! Led by @nbrait.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/1755...

We are looking for a #postdoc to discover cell-autonomous innate immune antiviral factors in mammals, based on newly-identified defense of prokaryotes! #EvoCure #comparativeImmunology #virology Please share @inserm.fr @ciri-lyon.bsky.social @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social ciri.ens-lyon.fr/teams/lp2l/j...

Just over week until the deadline👇

A new research review examines how carrying dengue virus affects Aedes aegypti mosquitoes' life cycle and behavior and whether the virus manipulates its mosquito host—or if changes are byproducts of other factors.

Applications for MEME are open! It's a research- and mobility-oriented Evolutionary Biology Master's Programme, where students have the opportunity to visit 4(+2) different universities in two years. Please spread the word! www.evobio.eu #EvoBio

Looking for a postdoc in environmental virology? Fascinated by giant viruses and their glycobiology? We have a position available at the MPI for Marine Microbiology! @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social @maxplanck.de career.mpi-bremen.de/jobposting/8...

Happy to see @nbrait.bsky.social and Muriel Ritsch-led paper on data accessibility and availability of endogenous viral elements (EVEs) published in Virus Evolution doi.org/10.1093/ve/v... I really think this is holding back EVE research at the moment: is it easy to solve?

We are looking for new editors at @jevbio.bsky.social! If you would like to get involved in publishing and support your society and its journal, then please apply. The deadline is January 20. We will aim for a quick turn-around for a start in early 2025. Further information via the post below:

🦠 We are recruiting two 2-year postdocs to work at the intersection of virus genomics and infectious disease. jobs.rvc.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx... Please share widely!
