The University of Chicago has two faculty searches that should interest evolutionary biologists/geneticists. A fantastic university with lots of strong colleagues across departments.
Get in touch if you have any questions!

Our study on fungal zoospores swimming pattern is out in @CurrentBiology! This study came from one simple question:
Do all chytrid zoospores have the same swimming behavior?
(No, they don’t!)

This week, @jasnir_ shares how studying snake movements inspired her to become an organismal and integrative #biologist at the @UChicagoPSD rather than pursuing a career as a medical doctor. bit.ly/3Nn1lNE

Where does physics meet biology?
In organisms ranging from tardigrades to jumping spiders, the Nirody lab studies how interacting with complex environments—especially through physical movement—impacts behavior and evolution.

Also at #APSMarchMeeting - check out the Physical Biology of Guided Migration session on Monday - the idea here is to think about physical factors in migration throughout biology. Emiliano Perez Ipina has put together a really nice session!
