I'm thrilled to share that I'll be joining the Department of Genetics at UGA as an Assistant Professor in January! @uga_genetics @universityofga

ad to come, but I'm looking for an M.S. student to work on conservation genomics of swift foxes on the American Prairie Reserve (MT) starting 9/1. this is a collab w/ Smithsonian & Justine Becker; strong candidates will have genomics experience and be up for remote fieldwork

🚨 The Barreiro Lab @UChicago is hiring 2 postdocs — open to both wet-lab and dry-lab scientists! Our lab studies human immune variation using single-cell genomics, genetic screens, and epigenetic reprogramming (trained immunity). 🔗 luis-barreirolab.org

Under the “Big Beautiful Bill,” federal lands like Teton National Forest will be put up for sale to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Happy to share a PhD opportunity in my new lab at @UZH_en ! Application deadline: June 30. Please retweet and do not hesitate to contact me for any questions

Postdoc opportunity! The Comparative Genomics lab (@IBE_Barcelona, @UPFBarcelona) is seeking a postdoc with experience to work on environmental DNA and mammalian monitoring together with @estherlizano ! CVs -> [email protected] #postdoc #genomics #eDNA #conservation #Barcelona

We are excited to share our new preprint on LeafCutter2! Our new method clusters, quantifies, and classifies splice junctions and intron clusters according to their molecular functionality (e.g., protein-coding or NMD-splicing). @yang_i_li doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

We're hiring a #Postdoc in Population/Statistical Genetics. Work on improving PRS transferability + risk prediction in mixed ancestry. 📅 Term: 01.09.2025–30.09.2027 📍 In collab w/ @helsinkiuni & Estonian Biobank 🧬 Apply by April 30. tinyurl.com/57f36e3u
