Our BioEM facility is looking for a tenure-track instrumentation specialist! Come work with us on exploring new #cryoET methods! #TeamTomo ❄️🔬

The Spanish #postdoc fellowship program call opens in a couple of weeks. If you got your PhD in 2022 or 2023 & you are interested in #coral #microbiome, #symbiosis and/or #protists, contact by DM/e-mail (jdelcampo[a]ibe.upf-csic.es) & apply to join the del Campo Lab 🪸🦠🧬

👉Our latest paper is out ❗️ Here, we investigate how microbial association networks change over ocean depths and across locations in the tropical and subtropical global ocean and Med Sea. EMM_Barcelona ICM-CSIC #malaspina

If you are interested in a #TeamTomo PostDoc using #CryoET to look at the organelle remodeling in these Sweet & Fatty symbionts, please get in contact with Johan Decelle! This includes collaborative trips to work with our team at the Biozentrum, University of Basel. Apply:emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/UMR…

Dinoflagellate-infecting Ichthyodinida (MALV-I) get a new genus in a new paper by Yoo, Kim & Coats frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… Enter ‘Hobagella’, from the Korean word for pumpkin! Check out their super cool supplemental videos to see it in action! Beautiful microscopy as always 🤩.

Looking for a postdoc willing to apply for a Juan de la Cierva fellowship at ICM-CSIC to work on gene expression of heterotrophic protists. Experience in transcriptomics and functional genes is appreciated. DM/email me if interested. Only for people who got the PhD in 2022-2023.

Happy to share our new paper in New Phytologist tinyurl.com/5f2jwhvp. Sampling from sea to the lab 🌊🧫, our study reveals bacterial pathogenicity towards diatoms is more prevalent than previously recognized! Huge thanks to all involved Laura Branscombe MBA - Marine Biological Association University of Exeter Michael Cunliffe 🏳️‍🌈
