CSIC Professor and Principal Investigator of the Quantitative Biology group at IBFG in Salamanca. Previously at Yale EEB, CNB-CSIC. Our group works on building predictive models of biological teams. More information at www.sanchezlaboratory.weebly.com
Warning though: The job post is in "Spanish" only (in truth, a dialect used exclusively at the BOE), and the instructions for applying could be MUCH more clearly explained on the web, they are difficult to navigate for non-spaniards (even for most of us spaniards too!).

Importantly, there used to exist additional hurdles for scientists with PhDs from non-spanish institutions, but I believe these no longer exist for scientists with PhDs from the European Higher Education Area (hurdles still in place for PhDs from USA, China, Australia, Canada, etc)

This paper by Belda et al makes the case for wine fermentation as a model system in microbial ecology and evolution, one which hits a sweet spot between experimental tractability and rich ecological and evolutionary dynamics.

This paper by Shraddha Karve discusses how evolutionary novelties emerge in microorganisms, focusing on the different types of novel traits and the role played by the environment.

This piece by Orr, Armitage & Letten provides a nice & clear introduction to modern coexistence theory for microbiologists, discussing how it can be applied to microbial communities & highlighting its promise, limitations & opportunities.

Coexistence Theory for Microbial Ecology, and Vice Versa
Classical models from theoretical ecology are seeing increasing uptake in microbial ecology, but there remains rich potential for closer cross-pollination. Here we explore opportunities for stronger ...

This excellent article by @clsong.bsky.social‬ synthesizes research on the Assembly Graph, a useful conceptual & methodological tool to understand the dynamic assembly of microbial communities and multispecies coexistence.

Assembly Graph as the Rosetta Stone of Ecological Assembly
This paper introduces the assembly graph as an integrative lens to unify ecological assembly theories across dynamical, informational, and probabilistic approaches. In addition to theory, it also pre....
