Dear Rosaceae International Genomics community,
At the last RosEXEC meeting at PAG30 we decided to re-instate annual RosIGI meetings, which haven’t occurred for a few years.
The purpose of RosIGI is to ensure communication among Rosaceae researchers across the world (so not only US) and coordinate international efforts on key initiatives that might be undertaken. More info here: Rosaceae International Genomics Initiative (RosIGI) | GDR<https://www.rosaceae.org/community/rosgi>
We are thinking of having a virtual meeting a couple of weeks after RGC11. It would be great to know who is interested in participating and has something to discuss/share with the community. We can have some time for presentations as well.
Please select your preferred date for this meeting at this doodle poll: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/eXQBmKva
As it is very difficult to find a time that suits everyone around the world, suggested times are chosen to encourage participation from NZ, Europe and Asia. We can easily liaise with America afterwards.
Please get in touch with me or the other RosEXEC international liaisons if you have suggestions and/or have something to share at the meeting:

Dear Rosaceae community,
I hope this email finds you in good health and spirits. It is my pleasure to invite you to the Annual NAPB Conference, which will be held in Greenville, South Carolina from July 16-20th, 2023.
This year's conference promises to be an unforgettable experience, featuring a wide range of sessions, talks, and workshops covering the latest developments in plant breeding research. We have an exciting program lined up with diverse keynote speakers, and the chance to interact and network with colleagues in the field.
Registration for the conference is expected to open on April 3rd, and we encourage you to visit the meeting website<https://blogs.clemson.edu/napb2023/> frequently for up-to-date information. Please mark your calendars and plan to join us in Greenville for a few days of learning, sharing, and Southern hospitality.
We are excited to showcase the region's rich culture and agriculture through local food and other experiences during the conference. You don't want to miss it!
Thank you for your continued support of NAPB, and we look forward to seeing you in Greenville.
Best regards,
Ksenija Gasic and Todd Campbell
Co-conveners
On behalf of the Organizing Committee

Job Opportunity Closing 1/6/23 (USDA-ARS Clonal Germplasm Repository, Davis CA)
Whenever people visit the USDA Prunus collection at Wolfskill, someone inevitably says “wow, you all have the best jobs!” Actually, yes we do. Opportunities to join our team and work with these one-of-a-kind trees do not come often, but we have an opening now for a 2-year technician with the Prunus collection!
We are currently accepting applications for a technician position at the National Clonal Germplasm Repository in Davis (field location at Wolfskill Experimental Orchard in Winters). This is a federal position open to US citizens at the BS or MS education level. The application is short and is currently only open until 1/6: https://www.usajobs.gov/job/696209800<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.usajobs.gov/job/696209800__;!!PTd7Sd…>
We are looking for applicants with practical experience working with trees in a nursery or field setting, either in research or industry. The job will involve detail-oriented record keeping as well as the physical demands of work outdoors in the orchard and in the greenhouse, and working collaboratively in a small team setting. This technician will also be working closely with a broad network of researchers on a large, collaborative federally funded project so it is an excellent opportunity for recent graduates hoping to build academic connections and explore the Prunus research world.
Please pass on this opportunity to anyone who might be interested and reach out to if you have any questions.
Happy Holidays!
