PhD opportunity @TelfordLab. Join the Pan-European ZooCELL Doctoral Network (zoocell.eu). Study evolution of animal sensory cells/larvae/life cycles. Learn cutting edge electron microscopy. Be part of a fantastic training network. Please RT. bit.ly/3Ur06Dj

Another job opening! I am hiring a postdoc in my lab at University College London to work on developing new phylogenetic comparative methods for modeling the evolution of complex phenotypes! Details here: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

I am extremely happy to share with all of you that I have accepted a position as Assistant Professor of Phylogenetics at Colorado State University 1/6 Colorado State University CSU Department of Biology

Has anyone ever published all the results of a project during the lifetime of a grant??? With open access becoming the expectation for funded research, granting bodies really must start to allow use of publication funds, if they are costed in a grant, after a project's end date.

We're hiring a #Lecturer (= #AssistantProfessor) in climate science OceanEarthUniSoton, closing 10 June: jobs.soton.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?r… Come and join a great department!

Hey, I’m Paul (he/him) and I’m a researcher Natural History Museum, working on dinosaur biology & evolution. Outside work I’m a singer, birder, watch rugby and am a bit of a foodie. Fun fact: I’ve walked with pangolins

Life and Planet 2024 registration is open!! We’re so excited to be building on the success of last year and inviting everyone interested in the coevolution of life and Earth to join us in London in July.

Join us in Southampton for the next BES Movement Ecology Special Interest Group Annual Meeting! More details soon.

Excited to share our new paper on Key Biodiversity Areas in the Southern Ocean, led by Sarah Becker and @cassandrafish. doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1…

Dept of Zoology Edinburgh University This year's BES Award, made in recognition of exceptional service to the Society, goes to @tomezard from OceanEarthUniSoton

Reminder that I'm looking for a MSc student to work on morphological diversification in fossil crinoids. Please share w/ any students who may be interested & FYI I'll be at the geosociety GSA meeting next week

:) University of Southampton is in the Top 20 of Mail+ league table: OceanEarthUniSoton a "notable Gem" "home to the school of ocean and earth science, which has a coral reef laboratory for testing environmental effects on reefs in a controlled setting, as well as a research vessel.”

It is time to talk about peer review bullying. In a new paper, I discuss why this type of bullying is prevalent and how to prevent it. Editors and reviewers, please read this.

New preprint out with Jeffrey R Thompson et al. on total-evidence dating showcasing: 1) Sea urchins (the best clade) 2) Lyrics by Peter Gabriel-era Genesis (the best prog band) 3) Extreme effects of the type of relaxed clock on phylogenetic and macroevolutionary inferences (a bit scary)

In the field at Culver (Isle of Wight), with Chia-Hsin Hsu 許家昕 and Jeffrey R Thompson. We were looking at the #Cenomanian - #Turonian chalks, including several important climate change intervals that our project will be sampling. Plenty of #fossils to keep everyone happy too!
