🚨 We're hiring computational evolutionary biologists! 🚨
Boosting this - industry evolutionary biology jobs don't come along often, so if you're excited to apply your computational evolutionary biology skills to cutting-edge problems, let's talk! 🧪🧬💻
Robert Ricklefs - in memoriam dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2026/06/11/r...
Aspiring Eco-Evo PhD students - check out the Simons Graduate Fellowships! it's a full ride!! 🧪https://www.simonsfoundation.org/grant/simons-graduate-fellowships-in-ecology-and-evolution/
Some STS colleagues and I have put together a list of talking points to help folks submit public comments on the proposed OMB rule jeopardizing federal research grant funding. (We also explain why submitting the comments are so important.)
Please circulate widely and submit comments *by July 13*!
Paper alert!🧬🐦💻
Divergent selection is the textbook explanation for narrow inversion clines.
Our blackcap inversion cline doesn't fit: it is wide, and the inversion is always the rarer arrangement. We show that negative frequency-dependent selection shifting between populations underlies this!
Interested in #macroevolution, #macroecology, and mountain biodiversity?
I'm recruiting a #postdoc for an NSF-funded project at Yale, in collaboration with Martha Muñoz (Yale) and Maya Stokes (Florida State University).
I'll be at #Evol2026 and happy to chat!

I did a bit of data analysis to inform considerations of this proposal.
This is not completely simple since the number of grants a PI holds varies over time as grants start and end, and because this includes MPIs (multiple PIs) in addition to Contact PIs.

#NewPaperAlert! This one has a massive author list and has been a LONG time in coming, but is SO COOL! First, check out the first figure to get you interested! Manakins! Fruit! Sexual-selection in action (displays and Z:A chromosomal diversity)! Read on for the back story & link

Stand Up for Science!
Robert Ricklefs, a giant of ecology, passed away on Sunday. It is hard to overstate the extensive impact Bob had on the field. He was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in the US,…

Hi all, The TL/DR A new proposed rule would dramatically empower political appointees to control who receives federal grants in the United States and what can be done with them. We provide some basi...
Our team at @arcadiascience.com is hiring!
We're looking to hire a computational evolutionary biologist interested in asking how and why protein sequences/structures/functions differ across the tree of life 🧬

Imagine that the only labs that remain open and receive (ample) funding are those:
- With only American citizens in their labs;
- With no international collaborators;
- Who have never participated in a protest or donated to a Democratic campaign;
- Whose research aligns with Trump’s priorities.
