A 4-year postdoc position in population genomics is available in my group at the University of East Anglia, to work on a project sequencing a thousand fox genomes across rural and urban environments in the UK. vacancies.uea.ac.uk/vacancie…

In this comment piece with @jfy133 and @twarinner, we highlight the mounting problems with data archiving and metadata reporting in ancient DNA research. The field cannot afford to keep neglecting this issue. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Don't miss this great webinar on Friday next week, celebrating the 40th birthday of the first ancient DNA paper. A great line-up of speakers, sign up here: animal-adna.org/events/2024/…

A position is available in my research group at UEA for a wet-lab research assistant, for 3 years, to work on data generation for exciting new genomics projects in urban and rural foxes and other mammals. vacancies.uea.ac.uk/vacancie…

This is now published in Scientific Data: nature.com/articles/s41597-0…. The survey is expanded to 42 studies, and the paper now includes a Box 1: "Step-by-step best practices for archiving ancient genomics data in the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA)." I hope this will prove useful!

Important findings on artifacts in PSMC curves arising from time segmentation/windowing choices, and advice on how to avoid these.

Applications open for a @ARIES_DTP PhD studentship with me at @biouea to work on the evolutionary history of the red fox: the land mammal with the widest natural distribution, and one of few that is thriving even in the face of anthropogenic pressures: aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships…

Applications are open for a @NRPBIODTP PhD studentship with me at @biouea to work on the genomics of the oldest and wildest evolutionary experiment in human history: domestic dogs and their biological adaptations to life by our side. biodtp.norwichresearchpark.a…

I'm very honoured to be a recipient of the Philip Leverhulme Prize in Biological Sciences. A very encouraging recognition of past work, and fantastic support for future research! leverhulme.ac.uk/news/philip…

Great accessible write-up for younger audiences of our wolf paper from last year. From @SJforKids, with myself and Dave Stanton @Nibbledtodeath
