Are you interested in host-microbe interactions and in immunometabolism? Come and join us in Cologne. Two postdoctoral researcher positions available in i-HEAD in the teams of Bart Thomma Team Thomma @teamthomma.bsky.social and Alga Zuccaro Alga Zuccaro. ag-zuccaro.botanik.uni-koeln.de/ihead 👇🧵

NEW REVIEW OUT Fungal pathogens (in fact, not only fungi and not only pathogens!) manipulate the microbiota of their plant hosts during infection. We reviewed the processes involved, focusing on effector proteins with selective antimicrobial activities. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Interested in plant cell death? Great - we have a PhD position for you, available from January 2025 : jobportal.uni-koeln.de/ausschreibung/…

We are looking for a Postdoc! Our lab offers a staff scientist position. If you share our fascination with plant-microbe interactions, take a look: ag-doehlemann.botanik.uni-koeln.de/sites/ag_doehl…

Zoe Prockl, a visiting master student from Universität zu Köln, has completed her work in my lab and left for a new endeavor. She’s been instrumental in starting up the lab and a good role model for our undergrads. Can’t thank you more, Zoe, and enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan🎉🎉

I´m happy to share with you a part of my PhD results that were just published in Env. Microb. Report …icro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17…

📣New year, new bioRxiv 🎉! A study led by the brilliant Yukiyo Sato showing that Starship giant transposons dominate plastic genomic regions in the fungal plant pathogen Verticillium dahliae and drive virulence evolution doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Hey my fellow Germans! I wasn't aware, but there is an AvH-JSPP postdoc fellowship, dedicated to German citizens aiming to do their postdoc in Japan. It covers salary + travel to Japan + startup for your life in Japan. Let me know if you are interested! humboldt-foundation.de/en/apply/spons…
