Excited to share the first paper from our lab! https://t.co/sqfHd5couA We engineered a new kind of time-gated calcium integrator, CaST, that can rapidly and non-invasively tag activated neurons in vivo with a small, biochemical handle. What makes this tool special and unique? 1/6
What if small molecules could allow you to alter protein localization at will?
What if they could allow you to turn on specific transcription factors?
Our new manuscript reveals bifunctional molecules to do just that. 🧵
Big news! WICB + ASCB are hosting a career panel and virtual job fair for academic staff scientist positions. Have an open position in your lab or core facility you want to fill? Looking for research positions? Just want to learn more? Join us July 19 at 1 pm Eastern.
The salary scale and related policy changes establish a minimum salary of $70k for starting postdocs, as well as salary increases that correlate with years of experience and additional flexibility in high-cost labor markets. (2/4)
Postdoc position available in our lab in collaboration with @R0bMoon in London on a @wellcometrust project investigating #Plasmodium knowlesi invasion. All new for us and super exciting. Advanced skills in microscopy and a keen interest in biophysics are a must.

I couldn’t have summed it up better! As many of you know, we’ve long been interested in understanding calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs). @alexwaichan has done a beautiful job uncovering a link between CDPK1 and vesicular trafficking!

We updated our database and now list 385 postdoc fellowship opportunities (w/ description, deadline, amount, eligibility, etc).
Getting one means a lot more freedom to do the work you want to do.
I’m attending a webinar on writing a resume for a U.S. federal job application (USAJobs) and want to share what I’ve learned. Here are some tips for clearing the HR hurdle and writing a successful resume. 🧵#PostdocAppreciationWeek#postdocjobs
