I’m looking to hire an NIH funded postdoc to join our lab here at Davis (please RT). Ongoing areas of interest include: 1) polygenic signals of selection from time series, ARGs, GWAS, etc 2) The interpretation of GWAS, polygenic scores, & sources of confounding

Yes well your early research was pointless so even getting to one dimension was an accomplishment

Sorry, description was unclear. The lab is in space as in it exists in 3-dimensional space; it is not outside Earth’s atmosphere. Prior zero-G experience still a bonus

It was a total pleasure to work with @roshnipatel.bsky.social on this, who really led the charge in all respects. Anyone interested in learning about the intersection of population genetics and statistical genetics should check out her new lab in Oregon!

The science he helped pioneer consistently undermines his view that genes determine everything about us.

Human-mediated land-use and climate change occur simultaneously, but how do they interact to shape adaptive dynamics? Super excited to share the first paper from the Kreiner lab, led by postdoc extraordinaire @rpineau.bsky.social

Thrilled to have a new paper out where we use 12+ years of monitoring data to document the impacts of inbreeding on fitness in eastern massasauga rattlesnakes! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Inbreeding reduces fitness in spatially structured populations of a threatened rattlesnake | PNAS

Small and fragmented populations are at high risk of local extinction, in part because of elevated inbreeding and subsequent inbreeding depression....

On a final note, we're all very interested in getting feedback on this project - please reach out with thoughts, suggestions, reviews, questions, etc.!

Eric was an extraordinarily generous colleague and a deeply kind and curious person. We all miss him.

It's been a long road to get this project out, and I'm very thankful to have worked on it with such excellent humans and wonderful colleagues. I want to especially highlight Eric Crandall, who worked tirelessly on this project and tragically passed away before it came together.

We found support for some results in line with our predictions (e.g., diversity increases with range extent), and for some counterintuitive results (e.g., dispersal-related traits were positively correlated with diversity).

Gideon Bradburd @gbradburd.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

We then aggregated biotic and abiotic factors (e.g., dispersal traits, life history traits, and range features) for each species to test some classic hypotheses about what predicts genetic diversity across species.

Gideon Bradburd @gbradburd.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

We collected georeferenced genomic data from over 9,000 individuals from over 90 marine species and used a spatial population genetic model to estimate the genetic diversity of each species.

Huge congrats to @kumawatb.bsky.social who was presented with his Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor award from the Grad School today! Bhaskar is one of the most patient, thoughtful, and talented educators I've ever had the opportunity to work with, and he's never even been my GSI!
