Senior Research Associate Postdoctoral Position in Evolutionary Genomics University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

University of Exeter Centre for Ecology and Conservation is advertising a 2-year NERC-funded postdoctoral research position for a talented theoretical biologist. The project focuses on modelling the co-evolution of learning and social structure , making this a strong fit for researchers interested in evolutionary biology, theoretical biology, and ecological modelling. The post is based in Penryn, Cornwall , at the University of Exeter. The research will be carried out in collaboration with Bram ...

Cardiff University’s School of Biosciences is offering a fully funded PhD project within the MECAW and CAB research groups. The research will use genomics and movement ecology to investigate African felid evolution. The project brings together Cardiff University with National Museums Scotland and the Landmark Foundation. The student will work across an interdisciplinary research environment involving evolutionary biology, wildlife movement and genomic approaches to understanding the history and ...

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...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in the School of Biological Sciences on Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance of Responses to Environmental Stress . This project investigates how environmental stress responses may be transmitted across generations through non-genetic / epigenetic inheritance . Using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system, the research will examine whether key cellular stress responses can be inherited, whether this improves survival and fitness under stress...

Funded PhD project at The Francis Crick Institute with Dr George Kassiotis on evolution of novel function through retrotransposable element exaptation . The project sits at the intersection of genetics , genomics , bioinformatics , evolution , immunology , and cancer biology , focusing on how transposable elements (TEs) and retrotransposable elements (RTEs) are co-opted to create new gene functions, alternative isoforms, and disease-relevant regulatory changes. The research background highlights...
