The Department of Plant and Microbial Biology at UC Berkeley currently has two open Assistant Professor positions (aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF05… & aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF05…). Interested individuals are welcome to apply to one or both searches.
The search for the next Bart Lab postdoc at UC Berkeley got put on pause while we were busy setting up the lab. But now I'm starting to review applications and its not too late to reach out, if you're interested!

The Danforth Center and @Mizzou are seeking applications and nominations for a joint faculty position in plant biology. Learn more about this exceptional opportunity to collaborate with both of these vibrant plant research programs: loom.ly/mWLqAp8
The Bart lab is looking for a postdoc/research scientist to work on our recently funded project. We will build synthetic microbial communities for for bioremediation! More info about the project here: darpa.mil/news-events/2022-1… Apply here: danforthcenter.org/careers/
Love the excuse to sneak away for dinner with @DanforthCenter colleagues during #2023ISMPMI
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Big congrats to @KionaElliott @KiraVeley @Kerri_Gilbert @reeyoder @DanforthCenter and all co-authors on this important story. A viable strategy to protect cassava from bacterial blight!
Thanks to everyone @DanforthCenter and in the Bart and Carrington labs for a successful @PlantTechJam! What did we learn? Plants get sick and microbes are fun.
So proud of Dr. @KionaElliott for successfully defending her dissertation research and being a role model to us all. Big thanks to her supportive committee including @RachelPenczy @meterup
