Thanks @javicheztin.bsky.social for hosting me. It's been a pleasure to go back to my dear @usaloficial.bsky.social and know more about the ongoing projects at #CIALE. Thanks for the lively scientific discussions on Trichoderma, MPMI and Marchantia, including 26 min of Q&A 😎

Thanks Sebastian @pfeilmeier.bsky.social for coming to the @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social for a #TRR356 seminar. We have all enjoyed discussing with you about #MPMI, Xanthomonas, hydathodes and more!

Congratulations to @vojtech-schmidt.bsky.social from Jan Petrášek's lab on his PhD defense! It was a pleasure to be one of your reviewers and discuss the #evolution of auxin in streptophytes in beautiful Prague 🦠🌱
I wish you all the best as postdoc (and landscape photographer) in Finland 🤞

Thanks, Irina Druzhinina for hosting me @rbgkew.bsky.social. I had a great time discussing all things plants and fungi, including Trichoderma! Thanks for showing me the Herbarium, the Fungarium and the Marianne North Gallery 😍

Thanks Laura @moodytomato.bsky.social for the invitation to Oxford last week! I enjoyed a lot the meetings and discussions. And thanks also to @tinaschreier.bsky.social and my dear Isidro Abreu for a lovely evening.
I was happy to see some British Marchantia growing right outside the hotel! 😍

📢 Job alert! 👩‍🔬🌱🦠🧑‍🔬
Are you interested in #PlantEvolution, receptor kinases and/or immunity? Do you have a PhD in plant molecular biology? This position might be for you 👇
We are looking for a #postdoc to join our lab @ZMBP_Tuebingen
Please RT!
#PlantSciJob
A postdoc position (E13 TV-L 100%, 3 years) is available in the Evolution of Plant Signaling Lab at the ZMBP (Tübingen, Germany) to work on the regulation of receptor kinases in the green lineage. Using an evolutionary approach and diverse model species including Marchantia, we will characterise the role of these signaling pathways in plant immunity and development. We are looking for a highly motivated, curiosity-driven candidate with a PhD in plant molecular biology, and experience in molecular biology and biochemistry. Excellent writing and communication skills in English and teamwork abilities are required. Interested applicants should send a single PDF file to Isabel Monte (isabel.monte@zmbp.uni-tuebingen.de) comprising a motivation letter describing your research interests, an up-to-date CV, and names of two references before 31st October 2023. The position is immediately available, but the starting date is flexible (preferably by the end of 2023 or beginning 2024).
