My dept in London at Imperial (Bioengineering) is recruiting a group leader at Professor level 🧑🎓 Please RT. It's a great department with world-class expertise in all sorts of biomedical & biological engineering topics, including synthetic biology. 🇬🇧imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-j…
Citation metrics: In the US I found they were not at all emphasized when applying for grants. I would look up my H-index/total cites once a year when filling out some annual paperwork for the university.
In Australia I find them extremely emphasized in grant applications.
To be clear, there were often sections when I would make an argument about my track record/contributions to science/relevant pubs, highlight 1st or last authored papers esp. w/ PhD students and postdocs, demonstrate I had published high impact papers or highly cited papers, etc.

Exploring alternative hosts for engineered PKSs is a promising strategy. In our latest publication, we established P. putida as a production host for unnatural polyketides.

Excited to speak at the Cell Free Systems conference this year. Even better, I can stay with my parents in my childhood home who live minutes away from Northwestern!

Any advice for alternative suppliers?
Expected, but demonstrates the issue when we keep getting advice to look at international schemes as one strategy overcome budget shortages in ARC/NHMRC funding as the US has historically been our biggest partner.

"Sheehy said US funding accounted for more than $400m in 2024 alone – equivalent to around half the funding the federal government provided in research grants via the Australian Research Council."
