The 2023 GRC on Ecological and Evolutionary Genomics is accepting abstracts for short talks! 🧑‍💼 Come and join us from July 30 to August 4 in Rhode Island for a ✨stellar✨ program (more details below!) grc.org/ecological-and…

Did you ever wonder about the neurobiological mechanisms that shape the ‘social brain’? Come study this in our lab! We are *hiring multiple positions*: postdoc and senior/entry molecular technicians. Email skocher at princeton dot edu if interested. kocherlab.com

If you are a graduate student or postdoc, consider coming a couple days early for the GRS organized by @DrHeathHeckman & @annabazzicalupo! grc.org/ecological-and…

Make sure to join our virtual open house on 11/11 @ 2pm ET if you are interested in QCB at Princeton!

@JoanStrassmann Congratulations @JoanStrassmann !

Princeton EEB is hiring – come join us as colleagues! We are recruiting *multiple* faculty in evolutionary bio. We anticipate hiring at the assistant professor level, but exceptional candidates at a more senior level are also encouraged to apply. puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/apply…

We are looking forward to a fun week of sciencing with all of you! #IUSSI2022

And on Thurs @BerylMJones will present her work on halictid genomes, "Convergent selection on hormone signaling shaped social evolution in bees" 11am, PB 16-17.

The lab made it to #IUSSI2022, and we've got lots of research to share! To kick it off, @baleicum is presenting a poster in tonight's session: “P038: Transcriptomic signatures of caste and seasonality in the socially variable sweat bee, Lasioglossum baleicum”.
