Join the European Project BiOcean5D as a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to determine spatio-temporal patterns and drivers of planktonic prokaryotic/microeukaryotic and benthic macrofauna community assembly across a river-to-sea transect on the west coast of France. We have collected sediments and planktonic communities seasonally (4 times) for 2 years at seven sites along the Penzé river to coastal waters of the Morlaix Bay (Western English Channel). A unique ecosystemic dataset with DNA/RNA sequences (including metabarcodes, metagenomes and metatranscriptomes from sediment and water) in combination with data on metabolic rates, and water and sediment biogeochemistry will form the basis of the work. 

Inscripciones abiertas al curso de posgrado UNU-BIOLAC "Simposio de Microbiología Sintética SMS3.0: Diseño de Biosensores celulares", que estamos organizando junto a Vanesa Amarelle. Por favor si es posible reenvíelo a posibles estudiantes interesados ya que tenemos 8 becas (incluye pasaje y alojamiento) para estudiantes latinoamericanos. 

Este evento tendrá lugar en el Instituto de Investigaciones Biológicas Clemente Estable, Montevideo, Uruguay, del 13 al 24 de octubre de 2025. El plazo para las inscripciones vence el 22 de agosto. 

Host-microbe interactions shape each other’s physiology, ecology, and evolution. Human health, for instance, can be strongly influenced by the symbiotic microbial community. The impact of these interactions extends to the ecology of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This is an expanding field of research in biology and there is a current need to summarize and integrate the knowledge that is being generated, and to extrapolate general principles to be incorporated in future innovative research projects. This Summer School aims at training the next generations of researchers in host-microbe symbioses.

The purpose of IFCB-2025 is to highlight current aspects of fungal cell biology and morphology related to growth and development, with a particular focus on the use of various methodologies to delve into fundamental questions on fungal-host and fungal-environment interactions.
