Spread the word! UChicago BSD is currently searching for an instructional professor (open rank) to help develop and support graduate training in quantitative biology at UChicago. This is an Instructional Professor position (open rank). apply.interfolio.com/183517.

🚨 NSF is already quietly eliminating the SBE Directorate, despite Congress’ mandate that NSF support the behavioral & social sciences.

Steps to counter this are in motion.

If you
- have an SBE proposal under review
- serve on an SBE grant panel

You can help! Fill out this form: shorturl.at/xuKw2

Graphic for the "GRADUATE SUMMER INSTITUTE OF EPIDEMIOLOGY & BIOSTATISTICS" which is for short skills-based courses in several formats (including half-day, one-day, one and two week courses, both online and on-campus). It runs June 8th to 26th of 2026.

A list of new courses at this year's SUMMER INSTITUTE OF EPIDEMIOLOGY & BIOSTATISTICS, including "Introduction to geospatial statistics", "AI tools for data science & statistics", "Wearables: digital health technologies for improving public health", "Excel for public health data: management, analysis, & visualization", "'Git'-ing to reproducible code", "Debunking misinformation and combatting spin in public health research" (THIS IS MY COURSE), "Introduction to text analytics methods", "FDA's regulation of prescription drug safety and effectiveness", and more...

Interested in epi/biostats but don't have time for a full course?

A question about Falconer's formula. The standard formula is:
h^2=2*(r_MZ - r_DZ)

My question is: can I replace the mono- and dizygotic twin correlations with terms for full-sibs and half-sibs?

It's the same ratio of genetic relatedness, so I don't see why not. What am I missing?

We're excited to be recruiting an NSF funded postdoc to work in the Villanea lab at CU Boulder. We're specifically interested in candidates who want to work at the intersection of population genetics, ancient DNA, and computer modeling. Please RT

Davis Summer Population Genomics Program Want to learn population genetics? Please fill out this form to indicate your potential interest in a 2-week intensive online summer population genetics course taught by Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra and Graham...

Fun news! @gcbias.bsky.social and I are teaching a 2-week online population genetics workshop this summer to raise money for the Center for Population Biology at UC Davis. We're trying to gauge interest -- please fill this out if you might be interested! And please share broadly!

Honestly, yeah, LFG. Maybe this is meant to feed biotech AI slop but we can outcompete them with good scientific proposals. If you’re interested in a post-doc applying neural networks to better integrate ancient DNA to demographic models reach out to me. I’ll help you tool the application for “AI”.

Please share: we're hiring a new tenure-track faculty member to our Department of Genetics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

For PIs hiring post-docs, do you usually as for a letter of recommendation (or letters) in addition to the CV and cover letter?

I'm looking to update the SRA growth curve for the intro lecture of my computational genomics course, and I noticed that the data traces provided by SRA end in 2024 ... Does anyone have an idea what's up here or how to get more up-to-date data? www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/docs/sra...

Please spread the word — a 2-year postdoctoral fellowship is available in my group funded by the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) to perform a study testing the contribution of functional non-coding variants in glutamatergic neurons to autism. 1/3

We are recruiting!

If you like evolutionary biology, microbial genomics, and host-pathogen interactions we have a PhD opening at @ugiatucl.bsky.social using population-scale metagenomics to map global phage diversity and uncover evolutionary signatures that could point to new antimicrobials.
