It was a great pleasure to be a part of this and I learnt so much during the process as well!
Check it out when you get some time and thanks to all the co-authors for great work! 🙌
Happy to finally share these results:

Interested in predicting the dynamics of antibiotic resistance? Come work with us! We're looking for two postdocs to develop predictive models of resistance. We're interested in a range of approaches (mathematical & statistical modelling, causal inference, machine learning).

The first preprint on chemostats from our lab! What a ride it's been with Eric Ulrich doi.org/10.64898/202... Congratulations on what was a challenging project that taught us so much about cross-feeding, chemostat theory and how minimal media are impossible to keep minimal ;) Enjoy the read!
Interested in synthetic biology & microbiomes? 🧬🧫
We are recruiting a PhD student to develop biosensors to study microbe–microbe & microbe–host interactions.
In beautiful Lausanne, Switzerland🏔️⛵

Boosts appreciated!
🚨 PhD position available ! 🚨
I am hiring a PhD student to work with me on the evolution of plant sexual systems 🌺 at @unifrbiology.bsky.social ! The position is funded for 4 years by @snsf.ch as part of my Ambizione fellowship. More info here: tinyurl.com/monoecy
🌱 Please RP and share widely ! 🌱
Check out our pre-print led by the fantastic Massimo Amicone, collaborating with the Bollenbach lab! tinyurl.com/4h9p8mfb We build a simple intuition on how ecological interactions affect resistance evolution by expanding evolutionary rescue theory and testing it with two large sets of experiments
1 week left to apply for scholarships ! If you are based at an institution in an ODA recipient country (e.g. Brazil, South Africa, India, Mexico; full list: tinyurl.com/5dv7vvs8), you can get all expenses covered to attend the summer school in Lausanne for a week.
A personal honor to have the work of myself and my collaborators covered in Il Piccolo, the Trieste newspaper that published James Joyce when he lived here.
With @saramitri.bsky.social, @sonjalehtinen.bsky.social and L. Lehmann we’ve launched the UNIL Center for Theory in Ecology and Evolution @unil.bsky.social🇨🇭
To kick things off, we’re offering short visiting fellowships for theorists in ecology & evolution. Apply & pls RP 😀

Delighted to see this out in its final form! doi.org/10.1093/isme...
We established a discussion group focussed on the history of community ecology and how it informs our understanding of microbiota. This review distils those discussions to provide a guide for microbiologists entering the field

Applications now open for the UNIL Summer School on Modelling for Evolutionary Biology (31 Aug–5 Sep 2026, Lausanne)!
For PhD & postdocs interested in formal approaches to evolutionary ecology (incl. social evo, life-history, species interactions).
Scholarships available, Pls RP! shorturl.at/fo1GA
Abstract. Many microbiological outcomes are shaped by the determinants of community composition, including the factors that allow pathogens to invade healt
