Vaikka vallitsevan Covid-19 -tilanteen vuoksi Suomen Solubiologit ry:kin joutuu pitämään vielä pientä hiljaiseloa tapahtumien suhteen, niin näin ei suinkaan ole nettisivujen ja muiden sosiaalisen median kanaviemme kanssa. Tänäänkin on julkaistu muutama uusi työpaikkailmoitus nettisivuillemme. Muun muassa Itä-Suomen yliopistossa on haussa niin post-doc -tutkijaa Suomen Akatemian rahoittamaan Prof. Jorma Palvimon projektiin solujen erilaistumiseen liittyen kuin yliopistolehtoria ja yliopisto-opettajaa Biolääketieteen puolelle. Lisäksi kansainvälinen yhtiö, Sartorius, hakee Helsinkiin projektimanageria laboratoriolaitteiden ja -kulutustavaroiden markkinointiin ja potfolion hallintaan liittyen.
