About this position
PhD opportunity in Evolutionary Biology at the Universitat de Barcelona (IRBio-UB, Biodiversity Research Institute) in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
The project, METACVERS, uses cave-associated spiders to study how climate change shapes biodiversity and to investigate caves as potential climate refuges. The research combines fieldwork, high-throughput sequencing, and bioinformatic analyses, making it a strong fit for students interested in evolutionary and biodiversity research with a computational component.
This is a four-year FPI-funded contract (AEI). The expected start date is January–February 2027.
Eligibility: applicants should hold a master’s degree in biology, environmental sciences, bioinformatics, or a related field. Experience in phylogenomics, population genetics, or analysis of sequencing data is desirable but not essential. The post emphasizes strong motivation, curiosity, and willingness to learn.
