We are hiring a 1-year postdoc with expertise in microbiome science/omics tools to work on microbial metabolic networks in extreme environments. Start date Jan 2022 or sooner. Interested candidates pls email C.V. to [email protected] One Health Microbiome Center CIDD Penn State Eberly College of Science Huck Institutes

Our comprehensive guide to #COMETS (Computation Of Microbial Ecosystems in Time and Space) is out at Nature Protocols. Read at rdcu.be/czjo9. We hope you will find it useful for #modeling the dynamics of #metabolism in microbial communities. #dFBA #microbiomes. 1/6

I am recruiting 1-2 PhD students for Fall 2022! Come study mycorrhizal ecology with my group and join a great graduate program EEES Dartmouth. Fully funded. Please RT and share with any interested students! More info and instructions on how to apply here: balachaudhary.com/phd-2022.html

Ever wonder how climate change & soil warming affect soil biodiversity? Gregory J.

Lockheed Martin received more federal funding last year than the amount climate programs will get in Biden’s reconciliation bill: stephensemler.substack.com/p/redistributi…

Our Ecosphere paper led by Clara Qin, PhD is out presenting the neonMicrobe R package to wrangle microbial marker sequence data for use in ecological studies! bit.ly/3oyikmc @MicrobialBart Lee Ann Stanish @yyachung Yang LIN 林杨 @chancemusky KUSUM NAITHANI Zoey Werbin Kai Zhu

Study by Policelli et al. Nahuel Policelli BU Biology shows invasive ectomycorrhizal fungi, including truffle-like species, found in sites where known mammalian vectors are historically absent. Paper in latest issue of Fungal Ecology: doi.org/10.1016/j.fune… #fungi #mycology #research

How cool is this! Soil fungus uses a bacterial metabolite (produced endocymbiotically) to protect against nematodes! Bacterial endosymbionts protect beneficial soil fungus from nematode attack pnas.org/content/118/37…

Happy new year, time to learn some Bayesian! @insectsaremetal and I will be offering a 3-day workshop in January aimed at explaining linear regression, occupancy modeling, and goodness of fit in a Bayesian setting. Buy tickets at: introtobayesianworkshop.eventbrite.com

This was a fun data set! We found that historicslly disturbed soils were less efficient at using all of the substrates we added. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The Sustainable Soils Lab is looking for a full-time research technician! The field and lab work involves research in sustainable agriculture with a focus on climate change mitigation and soil carbon sequestration. Please see posting (jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/156906). Please RT

We're hiring! The Schoolyard Ecology Program Coordinator will support diverse teachers as they collect long-term field data outdoors with their students, then analyze data to tell local global change stories. 2 years' experience teaching STEM is required. harvardforest.fas.harvard.edu/schoolyard-eco…

Super highways? Swift subway systems? Mycorrhizal #fungi have evolved complex networks to move resources at rapid speeds in the soil beneath our feet. These nutrient networks connect root hubs & help distribute nutrients across ecosystems. 📽️ Loreto Oyarte Galvez #SPUN

We have a 2-year postdoc position on soil ecological engineering for sustainable agriculture available at van der Heijden Lab, Agroscope , Gebert Rüf Stiftung direktlink.prospective.ch/?view=e4472dba… Come join us! Position open until filled!

Our global analysis in @globalchangbio shows how soil communities form as glaciers retreat. Figures of ecological succession in textbooks only show what happens above ground. Now we know how it works below ground doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16… #soilbiodiversity
