Had the chance to meet some of them two months ago. Lovely team and seems like an absolutely amazing place to work. So, if someone's searching for a TT position and is interested in marine eukaryotic adaptation, Vienna has one 👇

Frank Melzner@frankmelzner.bsky.social · 3w ago

We are looking for a TT professor in Rapid Marine Adaptation to study marine eukaryotic evolution to climate change. Join our growing & vibrant department! Please spread the ad: jobs.univie.ac.at/job/Tenure-T... Contact me if you need more information! @univie.ac.at

So, how's your heatwave going? I was lucky enough that I could spend most of it in a hotel with AC. Today though, I'm back and have to deal with the build up heat in my attic apartment. 32.0°C! Searching for a postdoc position further north than Germany sounds better every single day.

There are a couple of postdoc positions at our institute for 2027. This is one of five! Very cool topics, an awesome working environment with a lot of great people. Highly recommended!

Thilo Gross@thilogross.bsky.social · 3mo ago

#1 of 5 open PostDoc posts will study how the words we use reveal our thinking about the marine environment. Did you know that most prospective marine protected areas are named after sea-floor features? And, who has the power to name areas, species, etc? How does this affect the research agenda?

One of the great things about being part of an interdisciplinary institute is the multitude of topics people are working on. On the downside, it can be hard to keep track of everything. So, our group was looking for a nice way to illustrate our part. I had a lot of fun preparing this map :)

BioND Lab@biondlab.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Mind the gap! Next stop: Biodiversity Theory Our working group just digitized our research landscape using a classic London Tube map design. Every line is a team member; every station is a core topic or application we tackle. Check it out and see where our work interconnects!

Map in the style of the London tube map on a light beige background. The map is surrounded by a blue border. The map shows a network of twelve lines in different colours. Each line represents one of our group members. Each station is a topic or application we are working on. The background is partitioned in different zones similar to fee zones. The zones are Mathematical and Physical Foundations in the middle, surrounded by Complexity Science and Network Science, surrounded by the applications in the ecophere and technosphere. In the bottom left cornor is a box with a black border that has the references for the line colours and the corresponding names of each group member. On the bottom right is a logo with a red circle with a blue, horizontal bar. On the bar is the text "Biond Lab". Right next to it is the text "Theory for Biodiversity. Every model matters."

Very excited to share that our paper with @thilogross.bsky.social , “Counting Chemical Isomers with Multivariate Generating Functions,” has been published in Network Science. doi.org/10.1017/nws.... #network_structure #multivariate_generating_function #Pólya’s_theorem #symmetry #moleculardiversity

Oh look, that's me :D Here's a newsletter article about my latest paper with @akfbio.bsky.social, @jdyeakel.bsky.social, and @thilogross.bsky.social about functional motifs in networks.

There are two PhD positions available at our institute. Can recommend! There are some wonderful people to work with and a great interdisciplinary environment where you can learn a lot.

Helmut Hillebrand@hillebr1.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Rossella Alba, our new colleague at @hifmb.de leading the Marine Policy and Management working group, offers two fully funded PhD positions here: jobs.awi.de/Vacancies/21... apply until March 18, and feel free to make potential applicants aware. 🧪 @icbm-uol.bsky.social

New paper with @mhab.bsky.social @jdyeakel.bsky.social and @thilogross.bsky.social out now in @pnas.org! We show when and why you can know something about an entire network, just by knowing the behavior of it's building blocks: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Being in Siena for CCS this year made me a little obsessed with Italian baked goods 😊 I can say, absolutely worth adding to my cookie factory. And with that: Happy holidays and merry Christmas to all that celebrate!

The planning for the HIFMB Symposium on Functional Marine Biodiversity (June 17+18) is entering the busy phase. Today we would like to introduce our speakers from Session 1 “Framing global biodiversity for policy”. More information and free registration at hifmb.de/symp25

Meet our group members! More postdocs to come. Today is the great Kate P. Maia: “Hello, I am Kate. I am an ecologist with a background on applying network theory to study mainly terrestrial mutualisms, such as the interactions between plants and pollinators.

A picture of our group member Kate. A young woman is smiling at the camera in a close-up selfie. She is wearing a dark gray knitted beanie and a thick black scarf wrapped around her neck. Her dark brown hair is partially visible, with some strands catching the sunlight. The background is bright, with the sun shining behind her.

One of the things I love most about my job is getting to know so many cool people from so many different cultures and the exchange between everyone. Learned about the Iranian New Year celebrations yesterday from friends and colleagues. And with that: Happy Nowruz to everyone! ^^

Meet our group members! Starting off with our research assistant and newest member @timmauch.bsky.social: Hi, I'm Tim, I studied environmental modeling in my master's degree. I'm interested in the intersection of social and complexity sciences - particularly in relation to social media.

Our group member Tim Mauch, a young man with short, wind-blown blond-brown hair smiles at the camera while standing in front of a cityscape during sunset. He wears a black Patagonia t-shirt with a small logo and a graphic of a climber, along with a backpack. A pair of sunglasses hangs from his shirt. The background features a scenic view of a city with red-roofed buildings, white and pastel-colored facades, and a mix of modern and historic architecture. The sky is a mix of soft blue and warm golden hues, with scattered clouds illuminated by the setting sun.
