2025 PhD-student opportunity in our lab (https://t.co/CdfnHwjI0C) open!

This year I am particularly looking for candidates interested in computational ancient human genomics: genetic history and selection. https://t.co/XJ8OX0vDQ8

Those with an exceptional interest in other topics such as ancient pathogen genomics, ancient proteomics, and ancient canid genomics are also very welcome to apply.

Application by 5 November, interviews in January, start date September 2025.

@IngvarBa Det andra ligger ca 500 m längre in. Man går längs ängen och in i skogen. Högre och mer fågel där.

Found it! My yearly hunt for Botrychium lunaria paid off 😊

@KLVoje @Jente_O @ScienceMagazine @AgnesHolstad Brilliant! Congrats!

@wc_ratcliff You are absolutely right. I was chair for 19 years. It sucked. Early retirement.

[Mats Björklund @MatsBEBC]

@GonzaParra_ I would say that most reviewers see this as a good ambition, but that it will not happen. I did, at least. Very unrealistic and optimistic app's are getting lower grades.

"Develop routines and schedules that promote your wellbeing and productivity. Do research you feel passionate about, and be proactive in seeking opportunities & responsibilities that feel meaningful. Don’t worry about impressing the bigwigs; they’ll retire sooner than you think"

My interview is out now in @CurrentBiology, thank you for this opportunity to share my career track and research interests. Please see below my thoughts on advice to early career researchers and what I think the public should know about my field.

I'm looking for a postdoc who wants to apply for an upcoming scholarship to come to Uppsala and join my research group for 2 yrs.

The project is on hybrid flycatchers and diet-microbiome associations 🐦

Project is already ready, samples have been collected + more this spring.

Alfred Russel Wallace FRS was born #OnThisDay in 1823. He independently conceived of the theory of #evolution by natural selection and his work prompted Charles Darwin to publish 'On the Origin of Species'. Wallace laid the foundations of modern biogeography.
