We are recruiting! - looking for a post-doc to lead on the genetics part of a large multi-disciplinary study of the drivers of persistent schistosomiasis infection and re-infection with a bunch of great partners in Glasgow, the UK, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire and Malawi.

Exactly this, except I was mostly too impatient so my Dad ended up typing most of them

OMG this! colorcomputerarchive.com/repo/Documen... (although I was 3 when that was published so either it got to New Zealand later, or I used a later edition)

Exciting PhD opportunity on the ecological impacts of anthelmintic use on soil fauna, with a crack supervisory team and expertise from @glasgow.ac.uk, @hutton.ac.uk and @moredunfoundation.bsky.social! Find more details here: www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

There is a PhD position on ecological impacts of anthelmintic usage on soil fauna. A great team of supervisors from 3 Scottish institutions.. fully funded for EU and UK applicants. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Roz Laing and I are looking for a combined lab manager/(PD)RA to contribute to ongoing projects in the lab: initially for 18 months but hopefully a longer-term post, subject to funding. Closing date is 23 March. Please get in touch if you have any questions about the role. tinyurl.com/246m632j

A slightly late pre-xmas reminder to please apply for these funded PhD positions in parasite genomics/genetics/molecular biology that I'm involved in – the closing date was extended and is now 4th January, so still time to put together an application.

This scheme funds PhD scholarships in Glasgow for black UK-domiciled students. I'm happy to support students interested in my research area, or try and help point potential applicants to more suitable supervisors if your interests don't quite match mine.

University of Glasgow@glasgow.ac.uk · 2y ago

There is still time to apply for a James McCune Smith Scholarship! ⏰ The scholarships support Black UK-domiciled students to pursue PhD research at UofG in any area where we offer supervision. Apply by 31 Jan 2025 ➡️ gla.ac.uk/scholarships...

Our lab has two funded PhDs to start in 2026 via the NorthWestBio programme Project details here www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate... ...and here www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate... Application deadline is Nov 21st 2025; apply here: www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate...

My colleague Roz Laing also has a veterinary parasitology project next year, investigating how epigenetics might be involved in mediating drug resistance in parasitic nematodes www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate....

#3 Developing improved molecular diagnostics for Cryptosporidium in drinking water, and using these (and some genomics) to understand sources of contamination. Led by Frank Katzer at Moredun and Willie Weir in Glasgow www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate...

#2 - a project taking a comparative approach to DNA replication and plasticity/mutation in kinetoplastids, expanding work form the 'model' parasites to other kinetoplastid lineages, with Richard McCulloch and Sarah Allinson in Lancaster: www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate...

I'm also co-supervising a few other projects: #1: an inter-disciplinary project on chemical biology of Base-J in kinetoplastids, led by Glenn Burley @Strathclyde. We aim to develop some new chemical approaches and apply them to study kinetoplastid genetics. www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate...

We have a PhD position in population genomics of sheep scab mites available from October 2026. The project will investigate Psoroptes populations in the context of eradication programs on Scottish island groups and spreading drug resistance. www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate...

Academic colleagues, if we claim to value equity, and if it’s currently not safe for *some* of our colleagues to travel to the US for conferences, then should *any* of us be travelling to the US? Standing up for equity isn’t about our own convenience.

@mchshe.bsky.social Reading the Guardian this morning. You seem to be a good man. Your comment on powerlessness really resonated… I need to do more, and am fortunate enough to be able to make some small difference. Well done!

no worries - if i come across a good synthesis of the complex nematode ones I'll let you know. There is also trans-splicing in other flatworms, but not sure what the sequences are. It must be known in some e.g. Echinococcus and Hymenolepis, and probably Fasciola too.

We're looking for a post-doc to work on anthelminthic resistance in a new pan-European project. It will involve generating and analysing targeted and whole-genome data from well-phenotyped livestock GIN populations. Please get in touch if you have any questions. www.jobs.gla.ac.uk/job/research...

This seems a useful list, and there are others in the thread of replies. Much as we probably shouldn't care about journal 'prestige', its clear not all academics are over it yet.

Iain Johnston@mitomaths.bsky.social · 2y ago

Have had some good chats recently about pivoting to non-profit and society journals. A point to share/underline is that such options exist across the "prestige" spectrum. Some examples in the image. All heavily subjective of course; would love to hear thoughts from others!

If you are looking for interesting people on here that should be in your 'network', this is very neat bsky-follow-finder.theo.io (from @theo.io).
