🇵🇹 Staff scientist at the @ProbstLab @unidue doing all kinds of fun science! Once did a PhD at #faberystwyth 🏴
Our preprint on fair reuse of public microbiome data is out as of yesterday on @biorxivpreprint! 🔥 Check it out here: shorturl.at/7uRkM We (@AlexJProbst, @FolkerMeyer, @LAHug_, @environmicrobio, @CristinaMorar20 & Anke Heyder) crucially thank the Data Reuse Consortium!!
‼️I'm looking for postdoc‼️Join effort using metagenomes to quantify microbial catabolic potential and carbon substrate availability at the ecosystem level. We seek to understand evolutionary forces shaping the C cycle. Part of ccomp-stc.org careers.peopleclick.com/careerscp/clie…
🧬 Interested in aquatic micro, nutrient cycling, river-ocean interfaces I’m seeking a postdoc candidate to apply w/ me for the 2026 Walder Biota Fellowship ($70k+/yr 2 yrs, $20k/yr research). Details: More info 👉 biotaawards.org/2026-applicati… Our Lab 👉 theaquaticmicrobiologylab.com
🚨🚨New paper out!!! Come for the first large-scale analysis of plasmid copy number across species, stay for one of the most intriguing results of my lab: universal scaling laws in plasmid biology! 📈🧬 👉nature.com/articles/s4146…
Hey y'all, I may be unemployed starting from October. If you have any leads on biotech / postdoc positions in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, I'd greatly appreciate a message. I'm great with Data Analysis, Molecular Biology, and Teaching. (Plz RT) timothyfuqua.com
