Job at the #VosshallLab in NEw York, funded by #HHMI

"A research/leadership/mentorship position similar to a staff scientist. A great opportunity to carry out independent research and mentor early career scientists in the lab."

The lab is interested in the molecular neurobiology of mosquito host-seeking behavior.

HHMI is raising the entry-level postdoc salary to $70,000.

See the new salary scales: https://hhmi.org/sites/default/files/hhmi-postdoctoral-associate-scale.pdf

I hope the UK takes note. Presently it's about 50% of that figure, despite costs of living being about the same, particularly child care and housing.

But HHMI goes beyond that: there's flexibility to bring in entry-level postdocs at $91,000 when under heavy competition from industry (i.e., computer scientists).

#HHMIJanelia has had this flexibility–using fancy alternative job descriptions–since at least 2012 and likely earlier. I know first hand, from having run a lab there.

The new #HHMI #Investigator competition is open!

You have to meet certain eligibility requirements (time in independent position, at one of 300 institutions in the US, etc.), but if you do I encourage you to at least think about applying.

I am happy to answer questions or send people my application from the last cycle. HHMI is looking for great scientists, full stop, so don't talk yourself out of applying if you have an exciting vision for your work. Do it!

@HHMI

@markkitti @HHMI Great to hear about the support for developing #imglib2 from #HHMI and #CZI! Tobias Pietzsch has made outstanding contributions to #imglib2 and #FijiSc in general, and now this support means he will have the means to continue to do so. Excellent!

New server #introduction:

I'm a Group Leader at #HHMI #Janelia working at the intersections of #ComputerVision, #MachineLearning, #Neuroscience & #Ethology. I use #CV & #ML to gain insight into biology. I love algorithms (both computer & biological) & trying to understand how, when & why they work. But really I'm an engineer & want to solve problems however! I also want to make science diverse & inclusive.

Outside work, I like sunshine, outdoors, #climbing & #crosswords.

"Historically, with the study of the most convenient animal models —from the giant axon of the squid and the lobster's stomatogastric circuits to Aplysia's synapses and C. elegans' circuits — neuroscientists revealed some of the operating principles of the nervous system, which were then found to apply broadly across phyla. The third instalment of this meeting will once again bring together neuroscientists working on a broad diversity of animal models in an effort to compare circuits across phyla as a means to crack their function."

Only a few more weeks until application deadline done #HHMI #HGF! This program has been life changing, having this level of support and guidance during a critical career stage, and to be part of this community. https://www.hhmi.org/programs/hanna-h-gray-fellows-program

Hello all, new here trying to find my community. I am a #HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow in the Tesar Lab at #CWRU in #Cleveland where I study #glia in the brain inside your gut, and founder of the science education non-profit Rise Up: Northeast Ohio. Previously supported by #NYSCF.

I am passionate about equity in education, open science, mentoring the next generation of scientists, and teasing apart the molecular symphony that directs cells to shift states; enteric glia are my instrument of choice.
