Join us and become part of PhageOrder: study the evolution of phage genetic modules!

We are looking for a motivated Technical Assistant (m/f/d) with expertise in imaging and laboratory management to join the Bacterial Infection Ecology Lab @helmholtzhzi.bsky.social. Apply here (deadline: 12 February 2026): jobs.helmholtz-hzi.de/job/Braunsch...

#NewResearch Strain displacement in microbiomes via ecological competition @erikbakkeren.bsky.social #microsky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So happy to share this! Bacteriocins were first discovered over 100 years ago, but what do they actually do? We look at >1000 bacteriocin plasmids and find links to virulence and antimicrobial resistance, and frequent bacteriocin sharing in Enterobacteriaceae. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

ERC-funded PhD (infection biology) and a Postdoc (genetic engineering) position in my lab. #phagetherapy

Is it “winner-takes all” when the simplest living things compete? Check out my fresh publication on phage coexistence in Science and a thread below🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We are looking for a #Postdoc (m/f/d) with expertise in cell culture/immunology in the Bacterial Infection Ecology Lab @helmholtzhzi.bsky.social to study how gut microbiota manipulate their host landscape and to advance microbiome-based therapies. Apply here: bit.ly/4eFgQO1

Happy to offer 2 PhD positions on sponge-microbe interactions (deadline Feb 16th, 2024) that are funded within the CRC 1182 Origin and Function of Metaorganisms. The link is now live: www.geomar.de/en/karriere/... www.metaorganism-research.com/about/

Two PhD positions available in our lab @FBM_UNIL. We are looking for microbiologists interested in microbiota-host interactions, symbiosis, metabolomics, and social bees! Lausanne is amazing: Vibrant scientific environment & high quality of life 🇨🇭🚞🏂🌄🧪🐝🦠 shorturl.at/ptyOT shorturl.at/dipvA

Please add microbiome-related conferences for 2024 in this thread. Thanks.

Microbes are densely packed spaces - no empty bags. Fantastic renderings of a Mycoplasma cell #SpatialMicro ccsb.scripps.edu/gallery/myco...

It has been a great journey to tackle computational elements of this work - lots of potential to predict (&optimise) pathogen protection. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Wrapped up supervising a project on Tubeworm symbioses! Such a throwback to marine micro days. From sponges to mice, my academic journey keeps reinforcing my belief: the treasure lies in understanding ground-rules of host-microbe ecology & evolution applicable across host organisms.

I like to read *real* microbial ecology research periodically to remind me that opportunistic pathogens and model systems exhibit only a narrow range of possible interactions. For example, this makes our fascination with surface-sensing seem small: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Are you interested in mutualisms? Have you always wondered how these cooperative interactions emerge and coevolve? If the answer to these questions is YES, then please consider joining my vibrant group as a PhD student. Please RT. More details👇 www.uni-osnabrueck.de/universitaet...

Excited to kick off #SpatialMicro with a paper by Giselle McCallum & Carolina Tropini, offering a comprehensive review of the spatial organization of gut microbiota. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

“Hello world”, let’s make this a better place!

Join us for 3 days of amazing science - submit your abstract now to MEEhubs2024, our free (!) conference on microbial ecology and evolution (Jan 9-11 2024). Submission deadline extended to October 9th 2023! More info on www.meehubs.org
