I'm super excited to share that this article was published today in Science! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
All made possible by the fantastic group of donors, volunteers and scientists at The American Chestnut Foundation (tacf.org), HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, and our collaborators.
Please repost! The LOC Lab @UCSB is recruiting a #PostdoctoralScholar in forest ecology and data science to
develop data-driven models of forest resilience to compound disturbances (e.g., fire, drought, insects). 🌱🍁🌏🧪🌐
Applications due Feb 5

Us too, but sadly no receipt.
I am glad to share insights on what we have learned from the global set of forest biodiversity experiments over the last three decades in this new review paper first-authored by my wonderful colleague, Xiaojuan Liu, from the BEF China experiment www.nature.com/articles/s44...
Applications due by Dec. 1st.
A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women

Our department at UBC is hiring for a professor of forest ecophysiology, including "tree ecophysiology; plant abiotic or biotic stress physiology; forest mortality and climate change responses; forest carbon balance; tree water relations; or nutrient use." Learn more at: tinyurl.com/5da56f5c
We are searching for a Forest Ecophysiologist (tenure track Assistant or Associate Professor) to join the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences, University of British Columbia Faculty of Forestry. Please share! Details are here: ubc.wd10.myworkdayjobs.com/ubcfacultyjobs
Extensive mortality of the IUCN Red-listed species Korean fir (Abies korean) on Mt. Halla, Jeju Island, South Korea. The cause is unclear but may relate to lower winter snowpacks and early spring temps. Situation seems similar to yellow-cedar (Callitropsis nootkatensis) in the Pacific Northwest.
Remember that time when we lived through the three hottest years in around 125,000 years & no one was talking about it?
Huge congrats to @rafaelcr.bsky.social for his excellent PhD defense yesterday! Rafa has made large contributions to our understanding of local adaptation to drought in Douglas-fir and the underlying genomic architecture of climate adaptive traits as part of the CoAdapTree project.
Unbelievable. So sorry for what you and so many others are going through. Watching in horror from the north.
Hard to think of a clear depiction of climate politics in Canada than provincial premiers calling for more pipelines and deregulation of oil and gas development as climate-amplified wildfires rage in their own provinces. #cdnpoli

Oh the things you can do with Arabidopsis that us tree folks can only envy. Looks amazing! Can’t wait to read it.
Super excited to release a huge evolution project on the works for many years:
Evolution experiments synchronized across climates to understand rapid adaptation

Are you interested in the genomic basis of repeated adaptation? The RepAdapt group now has >70 members working to re-run their whole genome shotgun datasets through a common SNP calling pipeline, sharing VCFs, and working together to analyse data. Please contact me if you'd like to contribute!
The area of research will be determined by the successful candidate.
I'm hiring! Postdoc available in my lab in Ecological Genomics. northeastern.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/careers/job/... I will start reviewing applications mid-July. 🧪🧑🔬🖥️🧬🦑. Please share widely, thanks!
Great news - we will be searching for a tree physiologist (tenure track) to join the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences, UBC Forestry, later this year. Stay tuned! (Please share.)
Brilliant new paper by Jill Anderson and colleagues using 9 years of transplant experiments and integral projection models to predict the capacity of populations for adaptation and persistence under new climates in Boechera stricta. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Sad to see Tanille Johnston lose. An excellent candidate, falling to progressive vote splitting. Hope we don’t have to listen to much from Aaron Gunn.
A lot of Americans don't know this, but the winner of the Canadian election will be required live in a small cottage located in the backyard of the palace where the viceroy to the King of England lives.
The cottage just recently got a new wifi router, which was very exciting for all Canadians.
Candidates run to be Members of Parliament so they can re-live kindergarten, sharing a tiny desk with another MP and shouting or stomping when they don’t like something that is said.
