I am delighted to announce that I will be starting as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology (@UNC_Biology) and the Department of Genetics at UNC, Chapel Hill in January 2023!
We are actively searching for a postdoc to join the lab! Details provided here - johrilab.org/join
Please share.
I will be at PEQG and will be happy to chat if you're interested!
Our preprint, where we infer the fitness effects of new mutations in regulatory regions of the D. melanogaster genome. We find an abundance of weakly deleterious effects - biorxiv.org/content/10.648…
Led by @austin_t_daigle. With @ji_marsh.
We (with Fanny Pouyet and Brian Charlesworth) provide a theoretical perspective on rescaling forward simulations in population genetics, along with some guidelines:
Now accepted in Genetics (led by @ji_marsh)!

We ask why and when rescaling of forward simulations in population genetics is not accurate. There are some interesting results for people performing simulations with selection.
