Social Identity Matters in Mentoring: Applications are NOW OPEN for the Fall SI-MI Mentoring Course. 
The SI-MI Mentoring (Social Identity Matters in Mentoring) Program has been developed by a cross-Society group of plant scientists at all career stages. 
This is a free, online training aimed to help plant scientists be more effective mentors, emphasizing how social identity impacts the mentoring relationship. Through guided readings, reflective homework, and live virtual discussions, participants will explore how identity, power, and culture shape mentoring interactions in academic and professional environments. Spaces are limited, applications close on July 20.

Biomolecular condensates are critical for organizing cellular contents, but most studies focus on phase separation driven by salt, pH, or temperature. But what if intracellular movement also matters? Here, we explore motility-induced condensation in the cell. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I have a posting for a postdoc position, please see below for more info
The laboratory of Dr. Carolyn Rasmussen at University of California, Riverside has an opening for a postdoctoral scholar (2+ year position) to investigate the underlying mechanisms of protein-protein and protein-cytoskeleton interactions that mediate plant division plane positioning. Candidates with experience in biochemistry,  plant genetics and molecular biology are encouraged to apply. To learn more about the lab: https://rasmussenlab.weebly.com/

Specific job duties include:
- Conducting structural and functional analysis of division-site localized genes and proteins.
-  Investigating the biochemical mechanisms behind protein-microtubule interactions and protein-protein interactions
- Using cell biology techniques to identify the roles of division site localized proteins including plant transformation and phenotypic analysis.
- Participating in other related research projects. 

Required qualifications: 
- PhD in biochemistry, biology, plant biology or related fields. 
- Preferred experience and techniques in biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology.
- Excellent oral, written and interpersonal communication skills. 
- Ability to successfully work on multiple projects with a diverse group of people. 

To apply, please send your CV by email, including names and contact information for three personal references, along with a cover letter describing your research interests in a single PDF file.
