PhD Studentship: Molecular and Genomic Insights to Sexually Antagonistic Genes University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in functional genomics, evolutionary biology, bioinformatics, and genetic engineering . This project, supervised by Dr Karl Grieshop in the School of Biological Sciences , investigates sexually antagonistic selection in Drosophila melanogaster . The aim is to move from identifying sexually antagonistic genes to understanding what makes them special, how they affect fitness and life-history traits, and the molecular mechanisms underlying sexual con...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in plant biology , molecular biology , biochemistry , genetics , bioinformatics , and evolution . This project, supervised by Dr Ben Miller at the School of Biological Sciences , investigates how plants perceive and respond to environmental change through calcium signalling . The research focuses on the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha and compares stress-response pathways with flowering plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana . The project aims to und...

Research Associate in Genetic Vector Control at Imperial College London , Department of Life Sciences, Faculty of Natural Sciences. This is a full-time, fixed-term research post focused on genetic engineering , mosquito control , and the development of self-limiting genetic strategies for the population suppression of Anopheles mosquitoes that transmit malaria. The programme is funded by the Gates Foundation and sits within a collaborative research environment with links to the Target Malaria co...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in historical genomics, ancient DNA, conservation genetics, bioinformatics, evolution, and population genetics . This project, supervised by Dr Anders Bergström at the School of Biological Sciences , focuses on the declining red squirrel in Britain . The research will investigate how historical population decline, invasive grey squirrels, hunting, deforestation, and past translocations from continental Europe have shaped the genetic make-up, ances...

PhD opportunity at the University of Edinburgh in chromosome evolution, karyotype evolution, comparative genomics, phylogenomics, genetics, molecular biology, plant biology , and bioinformatics. This project, supervised by Dr A Twyford in the School of Biological Sciences , investigates chromosome number and genome-structure evolution across the Orobanchaceae , a diverse plant family containing both free-living and parasitic species. The research will use newly available chromosome-level genome ...
