Jill Harrison
@HarrisonLab
Biologist interested in plant evolution and development, especially the origin of vascular plants. Works as a Professor at @BristolBioSci.
So thrilled that my research and contributions to the University have been recognised through a successful promotion application ☺️. From August 1st, I will be Professor H! 🥳🍰🥂
Another great job opportunity @BristolBioSci listed in the post below. This one is a lectureship in evolutionary biology, and we are looking for an academic lead to our MSc in bioinformatics, so genomics and phylogenetics will be strong cards to play!

Last chance to apply for a lectureship @BristolBioSci this Friday 24th. This is an open call with 2 positions. More info on the University webpages if you search for ACAD107841. Looking forward to hearing about your work 😁!
1/9 I am excited to share our pre-print on spatial transcriptomics in wheat spikes in collaboration with @AshleighSLister. Using MERFISH, we resolved the expression of 200 genes to cellular resolution. Check out the pre-print 👉tinyurl.com/c7t3kncf
We are seeking to appoint a Pathway 3 Lecturer (grade K), as the operational lead of our highly successful Bioinformatics taught Masters programme! For more info click the link below: bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/deta…
Many congratulations to Dr Jeal @KatieJeal7. Very proud of all you have achieved in the last 4 years and looking forward to hearing about your next steps. Thanks so much @Dixon_LE and Jordi from me too! 🥂🥳
I’ve had a lovely day celebrating passing my viva! Thanks to my examiners @Dixon_LE and Jordi Paps for a great discussion! And thanks to @HarrisonLab and Keith Edwards for the excellent supervision over the last four years! 🌾

I'm delighted to advertise a fully-funded 4 year PhD studentship for UK students of Black heritage @BristolBioSci. Interested in improving yields of an emerging crop while living in a brilliant city? If so please get in touch! @BlackInPlantSci #phdposition findaphd.com/phds/project/f…
Celebrating comings and goings in the lab this week- a warm welcome to Xiaolian Wang who has joined us from Beijing to work on an HFSP origin of apical growth project and a farewell to Katie Jeal, who is moving on to work on awns at SLCU. We will miss you!

All set for some schools outreach to celebrate our building’s 10th birthday today 🥳.

Looking forward to this meeting in Cambridge December 16th.
We are thrilled (and very grateful) to announce that @Co_Biologists has kindly agreed to sponsor our upcoming #nonseedUK24 meeting on 16th December in Cambridge - 🙏 😃 🧬 🌱
Celebrating Katie Jeal's thesis submission recently. Thanks to her 'can do' attitude and great work ethic, she has achieved so much more than I hoped at the start of her project on wheat receptor-like kinase function 🥳. Looking forward to next steps @KatieJeal17 #WomenInWheat!


Registration closes this Fri 4 Oct for the inaugural @BlackInPlantSci Conference in Cambridge. Open to all plant enthusiasts irrespective of career stage or cultural heritage. Diversity is of benefit to all, so everyone needs to be involved to solve hurdles minority groups face.
