Stay up to date with what's happening @SASM
One of the objectives of SASM as a society is to enhance access to knowledge in the various microbiological disciplines and all areas in which it may be applied and to create channels of communication between our members who share common interests. In an effort to accomplish this, we maintain a blog updated with regular SASM-related news. We also interact with our members via several social media channels including Twitter, Facebook or Google+.

New Postdoctoral Position
New postdoctoral fellowship in Bioinformatics and Metagenomics available (2013-2015).
A postdoctoral position in the bioinformatic analysis of metagenomic data is available for a suitably qualified PhD graduate for up to 3 years, renewable based on performance and progress. The successful applicant will pursue research in IMBM, in a project aimed to mine metagenomic next generation sequence data from extreme environments for biotechnologically relevant genes which can be developed as products in the bioenergy, agricultural and human medicine sectors.
MicroEdu workshop at SASM2013
Dr Hafizah Chenia is planning to organize a Microbiology Education workshop at SASM 2013. This is a particularly exciting opportunity to learn about new developments in the US (and worldwide), because Dr Chenia visited the ASMCUE, the primary microbiology educator conference. At this stage, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to express your interest in attending such a workshop.
ASMCUE 2013 HIGHLIGHTS AND PROCEEDINGS
Next generation sequencing and bioinformatics courses
After our successful introductory course to next generation sequencing and bioinformatics held at SANBI at the University of the Western Cape in April 2012 in conjunction with IMBM and Roche Diagnostics we are happy to announce that we are running this course again this year along with two advanced courses.
