With #eseb2025 coming to a close, it is time to start making plans for 2026. Interested in the interface of evolution 🧬 and ecology 🌳? Come to our #ExE conference hosted by @uniexecec.bsky.social in beautiful #Cornwall. Leave your email address at tinyurl.com/EvolxEcol to join our mailing list!
Ooh.. that's not bad though.
I need help evo folk... Do we have a name for selection on phenotypes that - across populations of a species - stops them diverging phenotypically (i.e. opposes divergence by drift, makes Qst<Fst). Stops divergence rather than causes convergence, sort of pop-level 'stabilising' process?

📣 New PhD position on flycatchers with @qvarnstromlab.bsky.social — spread the word!
Combine bioinformatics, long-term datasets and field work to explore climate adaptation and speciation in the lovely flycatchers. Join us in Uppsala, Sweden! Apply by Mar 18: www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...

Can't wait to welcome @englishse.bsky.social to our @uniexecec.bsky.social seminar series in March!
Looks like a great opportunity for a few months fieldwork with a great PI
While I agree, I wonder if societies may need to look harder at membership benefits to be attractive too. Where institutional publishing agreements already cover journal access and page charges, tangible 'benefits' (beyond group inclusion) for folk paying full membership can be limited no?
No job ad yet, but I'll be hiring a postdoc at Purdue in population genetics/quantitative genetics/genomics in plants. DM if you have relevant experience and are potentially interested.

Agree, this is depressing.
Update: Abstract submission for #Behaviour2025 is now extended to Feb 15!
Recruiting a #PhD student to work on collective behaviour in real and artificial systems. Oct 2025 start. Working with @shoalgroup.bsky.social, Rob Heathcote, @willallennz.bsky.social, @joefresna.bsky.social, @marinapapap.bsky.social Advert: www.swansea.ac.uk/postgraduate...
Deadline: 24.02
PhD opp in behavioural Evo genetics with Ned Doctermann. Never been to North Dakota, I imagine it's cold. But if you want to do a PhD in a top notch group with a kind supportive supervisor it's probably a risk worth taking.
Is it time to just end all journals and academic publishers? Revolution over evolution? Not saying it is, but I am wondering...PCI model or biorxiv with peer review?

A forever job at IU Bloomington, behaviour/Evo.
These events from Gen Soc are great. Would def recommend having a look.
Happy new year all. Last couple of weeks for this PhD opp so giving it a bump. Please pass on to anyone who may be interested. I'm back to work 6th and happy to chat to anyone with questions from then on.
Exciting PhD opp with a great supervisory team. Only drawback is you'd have to work mammalian imposters not real fish 😜
🧪The 2025 Guarda Summer course is intended for master students and early PhD students in evolutionary biology.

Evolution genetics PhD opp in Edinburgh with a great supervisor
I really think sample structure is critical (as Joel said) as variance in relatedness is the key for a classical approach (ie using a genome wide relatedness matrix). Can you sample your species in a way that you expect lots of relatedness structure?
new work on evo genetics of senescense in wild birds that sounds interesting
