PhD in the role of culture in human biological evolution Anglia Ruskin University in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in the School of Biological Sciences with Prof Alexei Maklakov. This project investigates postreproductive maternal care and how it may shape the evolution of sex differences in lifespan . Using wild nematode species, the research will test whether the sex that provides postreproductive care tends to live longer, combining comparative survival, reproduction, and provisioning data with custom genetic tools developed in the lab. Research themes incl...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, United Kingdom: From brain to germline: how perception affects genetic inheritance (IMMLER_UEA_ARIES27). This competition-funded PhD project explores how perceived temperature changes, not only actual heat stress, can influence the germline and shape transgenerational inheritance in zebrafish. The project sits at the intersection of biology , neuroscience , environmental science , genomics , bioinformatics , reproductive biology , deve...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in Evolutionary Genomics of Mimicry in Neotropical Catfishes , hosted by the School of Biological Sciences and supervised by Dr Martin Taylor . This project explores how mimicry evolves in Neotropical Corydoradinae catfishes, using comparative and population genomics to study repeated origins of similar colour patterns across more than 30 mimicry communities in South America. The research asks which genomic regions show divergent selection, whethe...
