We are on the lookout for postdocs for two different projects at the intersection of ecology, evolution, and the human microbiome.

See thread for more information and reach out!

Happy to see this out now in @asn-amnat.bsky.social!

We combined experimental evolution and mathematical modeling to ask: can bacteria evolve to swim away from their viral parasites?

The hidden cost of aggregation lies in the incompatibilities between cells with different genetic dialects

Now in @evolletters.bsky.social by @jahanisrat.bsky.social, @treyjscott.bsky.social, @joanstrassmann.bsky.social, and David C Queller

Are you interested in research in evolutionary genetics & genomics 🧬 (but maybe not ready to apply to graduate school)? Come work with me or one of my amazing colleagues at Rice University, University of Houston, or Texas A&M!

Apply to our #NSF funded post-bacc research program! (Please share!)

Hello new phage phollowers!

I am shamelessly self-promoting mine and Angus Buckling's relatively new review "Critically evaluating the relative importance of phage in shaping microbial community composition"

We have new yeasty pre-print out led by star postdoc Jennifer Molinet. This paper has it all: wild yeast from Patagonia, experimental evolution, whole genomes, de novo mutations, gene expression, CRISPR, and of course, beer!🍻🧪
