I know a talented microscopy/microbiology student who is going to be on the job market soon. Open to work outside the US, but is an American student if that makes a difference🧪🦠

New study from my lab and former grad Dr. Kwak shows Liberibacter psyllaurous, a dual insect symbiont and plant pathogen, boosts psyllid fitness by providing essential nutrients like arginine. A rare case of nutritional benefits from non-obligate symbionts #symbiosis journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Are you or do you know someone interested in symbiosis research? Anaeramoeba is an exciting organism to explore symbiosis in a low-oxygen environment.
Less than a week (December 6) to apply for the PhD position in my group!

The Department of Pathology at UC San Diego is hiring a new Department Chair!
We are comprised of basic, translational, and physician scientists working on cancer, neurological disease, microbial infection, and inflammatory disease. Please share & repost! 🧪 apol-recruit.ucsd.edu/JPF03983
Fun new paper led by @greghurst.bsky.social &co using genomics to show that facultative symbiont genomes get bigger as they adapt to life inside a host (through HGT & loss of CRISPR) before undergoing genome reduction as they become obligate #symbiosky #microsky

Post doc position of possible interest at UC Davis:
ohi.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/careers
On "ecological and environmental drivers of zoonotic virus emergence, transmission and circulation and the development of innovative technology and approaches for transdisciplinary pandemic research."
Applications are open for the Microbial Population Biology GRS and GRC!
The GRS is a fun day for grad students and postdocs to network before the full GRC starts, and is co-chaired this year by me and Laura Suttenfield
Get your applications in by Jan 15! #evosky 🦠🧪
