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. 

Join online - New Phytologist next generation scientists 2025
4 August to 7 August 2025

The full programme for New Phytologist next generation scientists 2025 is available! Join online to view talks from seven keynote speakers and 26 early career researchers, including a special evening lecture from Professor Noni Franklin-Tong at 18:30 BST on Tuesday 5 August 2025.
 
The majority of talks and sessions will be streamed live, and will be available to view on demand following the symposium.  

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.
