I'm so excited to let y'all know that soon we'll be inviting applications for a faculty position in the area of Microbiomes here at IUBloomington in the awesome IUMicro group! More details to come soon but for now, keep an eye on this space!
Funded PhD opportunities currently available in our lab. Open to anyone anywhere in the world. Projects ranging from basic mechanisms of gene regulation to antibiotic resistance in ESKAPE pathogens. Get in touch if you're interested #findaphd#biologyfindaphd.com/phds/?Keywords=…
US DOE posted then-and-now feature about its 2012 Early Career Research Program award recipient @mckinlab and his research into how microbial species might work better together than alone to produce hydrogen gas biofuel. go.iu.edu/4DgC@IUCollege@IUScienceNews@IUImpact
Really looking forward to the 9th ASM Conference on Biofilms @2022Biofilms in Charlotte NC this coming week. @MicroKLV and the organizing committees (including early career) have lots of great science (400 enrolled) on deck plus other activities in store. Gonna be great.
At @IUBiology Micro retreat, we are honored to host Beronda Montgomery as our keynote speaker; a former IU postdoc and now amazingly accomplished scientist, admin, role model.
