🌿 Postdoc opportunity in plant evolutionary ecology/genetics!

My lab in the Dept. of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to start Fall 2026.

We study plant adaptation, using weeds as model systems.

#Postdoc #EcoEvo

Pls RT!

CEPLAS starts a number of new projects, and we are looking for 12 Postdocs ❗
CEPLAS projects are always highly collaborative, that means postdocs working with us will always closely interact with several CEPLAS research groups. Find all postdoc openings here: www.ceplas.eu/en/training-...

Super cool paper, Bert. I really like this story.

Happy to present our latest: Evolutionary adaptations to the hormonal regulation of vascular tissue development | PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/.... Work by Wei Xiao and funded by @erc.europa.eu

Born #OnThisDay in 1922, Esther Lederberg was the first to isolate the lambda phage in 1951. She characterised the lysogenic phase, whereby the phage are able to integrate into the bacterial genome, staying dormant. This discovery made them a model tool of study, leading to many more breakthroughs.

Senior Group Leader Position

Two fantastic positions in #plantscience: A junior AND a senior group leader position at the Gregor Mendel Institute (GMI), part of @viennabiocenter.bsky.social. Generous core funding, fantastic plant and non-plant colleagues, all in a very livable and beautiful city.

A portrait of Daisy Roulland-Dussoix from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisy_Roulland-Dussoix

Do you know Daisy Roulland-Dussoix? She is one of the discoverers of restriction enzymes, who’s findings paved the way for the development of recombinant DNA and cloning technologies. Accordingly, the finding was rewarded with a #NobelPrize. But the prize didn’t go to her.

Happy to share our last paper published in Developmental Cell. Amazing work by Anna Sole-Gil. Great co-supervision with Miguel Blázquez and equally great collaboration with the labs of @liamdolanlab.bsky.social, Barbara Ambrose and Kimitsune Ishizaki.

Same here, Bert! BTW, happy new year!

Yes you are! Bon any per a tu també!
