🔊Job offers!📢. We will have a few post-doc and PhD studentship positions to join our research team in Aberdeen. Here is the first one: EASTBIO: Soil microbial growth and resilience to environmental change. at University of Aberdeen on

Well it only took 13 years (or maybe ~1,600 generations) to get validated since the first publication, but now that it has entered its teenage years, Nitrosotalea is Candidatus no more! https://t.co/dFfdWz2xOn @ArchaeaLaura @micecoevo @CHazard99 @EMG_Lyon

Brilliant to be able to attend the talk of @sgrandysoil today at @UoABioSci. Good chat afterwards too. A subject area that is super close to my heart! He has a super cool post doc available so check it out! #Soil #Science

ISME19, welcome to South Africa!

So excited for my first ISME poster

So excited for the invited talk on eco-evo fluctuations by PhD supervisor @micecoevo at @ISME_microbes

Characterisation of isolated nitrite oxidiser Ca. Nitrobacter laanbroekii, originally enriched >35 years ago by Wietse de Boer during his PhD & named in honour of Riks Laanbroek. It also makes acidophilic Nitrosotalea behave a bit more like regular AOA!

📢PhD position on microbial ecology currently open for applications: " Ecological and evolutionary dynamics of sponge-associated microbial communities" on https://t.co/fS9YT6tz9h. Please check our website for more info as well: https://t.co/yXkrqHq9mk

There isn’t all that much information available on how to how to build a research group, and even less on how to build an inclusive, collaborative lab. Here I’ve written about my approach - I hope some other (new) PIs find it useful! #ECRchat https://t.co/ZOoHbStTIX

5th Plant Microbiome Symposium, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 18-21 June 2024 -by @MiCRop_research / @RaaijmakersJM https://t.co/qigoTZW1Nn

I have a fully-funded PhD opportunity to study how holobiome changes during parallel range shifts, addressing theories about community diversity, function and evolution. Please share! https://t.co/87QHtP3IP1

Successful microbiome engineering in agricultural fields. Our new paper in @NatureMicrobiol demonstrates that large-scale inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi works and can promote crop yield up to 40%. https://t.co/cjjTH8o9Fj @SteffiLutz; @NBodenhausen; @KSchlaeppi

Post-doc opportunity to work with me, @PawarLab @padpadpadpad Angus Buckling and Nick Smirnoff investing the temperature dependence of microbial community respiration

Don't be shy and apply to this PhD position! Deadline is approaching fast! Please RT if you already have a PhD :-)
