Our bioinformatics staff scientist position is still open! We are looking for someone passionate about genome mining and community science to help revitalize PlanMine. Please look at the ad (or message me) and consider retweeting (re-X-ing...?). mpinat.mpg.de/4586336/58-23

PostdocNet Steering Group 2023–2024 in action🦾! We discussed our plans for the coming year with MPG administration. Our focus for 2024: visibility, networking, and improving postdoc life. Stay tuned for updates on our progress and initiatives 🚀

Don't miss the opportunity to apply for this exciting PhD project! Chris is one of the most knowledgeable people in this space.

❗️PostdocNet is issuing a statement together with German postdoc networks on the Federal Cabinet's decision on the WissZeitVG amendment of March 27, 2024 due to their impact on academic careers and Germany's scientific competitiveness. 👉postdocnet.mpg.de/joint-statemen…

OK mind BLOWN Allan Cabrero, Ph.D. showed me this amazing micro beefly Leylaiya spp with its concertina mouthparts…. Is this not the most amazing MOUTHPART you have ever seen???

The 2024 Max Planck Postdocnet Survey has begun! If you are an MPG Postdoc, please fill it out! Thank you to everyone in the Survey and Steering Groups who have made this happen. It's been awesome to work on this yet again. More information about our survey here: postdocnet.mpg.de/survey

The first of my main PhD papers is out now as a preprint! Co-first authored with David A. Salamanca-Díaz, we generated an atlas of Hydractinia cell types, including tissue from all specialist colony parts. Check out Jordi Solana thread below for some fresh memes and deets

Have a look at my poster at Evolution Meetings #Evol2024 to see why power analysis (often) sucks. Poster also here github.com/szymekdr/evolu… + more on the topic in our paper journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… with Shinichi Nakagawa | 中川震一 Yefeng Yang and Losia Lagisz

Planarians are model systems for stem cells & regeneration. Ivanković et al. provide new genome assemblies of S. mediterranea & 3 relatives, showing that synteny is not an evolutionary constraint in flatworm genome evolution. Jeremias Brand MPI for Multidisciplinary Sciences Rink Lab nature.com/articles/s4146…

Read our recent paper on the evolution of synteny in flatworms! My blog about it: jeremias-brand.github.io/2024-09-19-nco… And the open access paper: doi.org/10.1038/s41467… André Marques Rink Lab

Both Max Planck Postdocnet and LeibnizPostDocs conduct postdoc surveys. In Nature Careers, we explain why we do this and how you can do it too! ✍️ with the amazing Harry Williams & @becker_regi nature.com/articles/d4158… #Postdocs #WissZeitVG #AcademicChatter #academia

ZOOLOGY JOB ALERT!🚨🪱 Are you interested in microscopic worms, asexual reproduction, or EvoDevo? We are hiring a post-doc (18 months) in our newly established group Institute of Evolutionary Biology UW Wydział Biologii UW funded by NAWA Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange Apply by 15.12.24 More details here: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/283654

This is an excellent postdoc opportunity! Ludwik is super productive and there are so many new things that can be discovered in these worms. I highly recommend applying.

🚨 We are pleased to present the report into the 2nd Leibniz PostDoc survey! 🚨 This has been a long-time coming but we are happy to see this report into the careers, working lives, and mental health of Leibniz PostDocs finally available. For more information, keep reading!

NEW preprint!🥳 Orthogroups are a prerequisite for comparative genomics and Tree of Life inquiries Introducing #OrthoHMM, software that improves orthogroup inference, which may refine our understanding of genome evolution and the Tree of Life 🔗 tinyurl.com/4s9mwxz6
