Reposting this ongoing search (any discipline of biology) for an Assistant to Associate level colleague in the Division of Basic Sciences at Fred Hutch. Great city, great colleagues, great core facilities, great trainees.

Harmit Singh Malik@harmitmalik.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Come be our colleague. I have been in this Division for 27 years (4 as a postdoc and 23 as a PI). It is an amazing place to work, collaborate, and be inspired. If you are applying to be an Assistant or Associate Professor this Fall, don't miss this deadline.

Great speakers, great science, great location = great meeting! EMBO workshop Forces across scale April 27-30, 2027 in Porto. meetings.embo.org/event/27-for...

Come and join us in the beautiful city of Porto in April 2027 for what promises to be a great meeting!

Really proud to share our latest work @embojournal.org . This was a long, joint effort from everyone in the lab (some of which have since left). Here, we looked at out how cells decide when to divide. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Hey y’all 👋 repost magic appreciated. The Solecki lab is recruiting multiple postdocs at St. Jude for a chromatin imaging project at the edge of live-cell imaging, neuronal cell biology, chromatin regulation, and quantitative image analysis. Ever dreamed of touring chromatin like this? We CAN 🔥

Our attempt to give multinucleate cells the spotlight they deserve (seriously, they’re everywhere), led by the fearless @mrosjac.bsky.social and with @Markus Ganter doi.org/10.32942/X2M... We’d love your feedback while this goes through the peer review process! #MicroEvoSky #ProtistsonSky 🧪🌏

I just wrote an invited review on one of my favourite topics. This was a long and tiring process (as usual). I wrote the entire thing from scratch without any AI tool (not even editing or paraphrasing). Editor comes back to me with highlighted sections that were AI-generated. How should I reply?

Here's a few thoughts after the FASEB meeting on Mechanobiology of the nucleus #MBNSRC 1 - The community is healthy and growing in multiple directions 2 - New people are committed in moving the field forward 3 - Some directions are unexpected and have huge potential. Looking forward to new chapters

Get out your calendars! The motors are out of quarantine and we plan to assemble in person on 8th May 2026 at University of Warwick Campus for a fun day on motors and the filaments they walk along. Livestream is planned too. More details on registration, travel bursaries etc. will be revealed soon.

Getting ready for the 2nd day of the Mechanobiology of the nucleus meeting! #MNBSRC

Almost time for the best meeting of the year! Looking forward to interact with everyone! See you there
