Postdoctoral Research Associate/Fellow in Evolutionary Modelling and Social Evolution University of Exeter in United Kingdom

Forwarded advert for a 3-year postdoc at the Department of Statistics, University of Oxford , working with Anastasia Ignatieva on computational genomics , genetic genealogies , and the evolution and effects of genomic structural variants . The project is strongly research- and software-oriented: the successful candidate will translate theory into efficient data structures, develop algorithms, and design and implement the core software library. This is a good fit for applicants with interests in ...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the Institute for the Science of Early Years and Youth (ISEY), University of East London, Stratford Campus, United Kingdom. The project focuses on shared reading , early cognitive development , attention , language development , and dual-brain EEG . It asks how caregiver-child interactions support learning, how moment-to-moment neural activity becomes coordinated during shared reading, and how interpersonal neural coordination relates to children’s attention, enga...

Funded PhD project at the University of Bristol within the MRC GW4 BioMed Doctoral Training Partnership . This project focuses on HIV transmission and the impact of innovations in preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) , using mathematical modelling to study oral and injectable PrEP in the context of structural and behavioural complexity. The research will examine adherence, risk perception, behaviour-driven infectious disease dynamics, and the real-world policy impact of PrEP. Research theme: Populatio...

Funded PhD opportunity in Neuroscience at the University of Bristol on “Cerebellar orchestration of social behaviour” , offered through the GW4 BioMed3 MRC Doctoral Landscape Programme . This project investigates how the cerebellum influences social behaviour and behavioural state switching, with a particular focus on cerebellar–prefrontal cortex interactions in mice. The student will work with a conditional TSC1 mutation in Purkinje cells, compare mutant mice with littermate controls, and use v...

PhD opportunity at the University of St Andrews in Deep Learning for time-series from genomic biodiversity projects , hosted by the School of Biology and supervised by Dr C Kosiol and Dr Rui Borges . This project sits at the intersection of biology , bioinformatics , evolutionary biology , genetics , ecology , zoology , and computer science . The research focuses on how populations adapt to changing environments using genomic time-series data, including samples from natural history museums, labo...
