PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Evolutionary Biology in Luxembourg

Two funded PhD positions are available in Kenneth Dumack’s group at the University of Koblenz, Germany, investigating an unusual photosynthetic rhizarian and its complex plastid. The projects aim to determine how the plastid was acquired and how this organelle is integrated into the eukaryotic cell. One PhD project centers on evolutionary genomics and bioinformatic physiology, offering a computational perspective on plastid evolution and cellular function. The second project focuses on cell biol...

The Henn Laboratory at the University of California, Davis is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to work at the intersection of human genetics, population genomics, and evolutionary inference. The project brings together two connected research directions: selection-guided GWAS methods applied to underrepresented African populations using the Northern Cape Tuberculosis Cohort, and inference of adaptive evolution at HLA/MHC loci in admixed populations. The postdoc will contribute to a research program...

A postdoctoral scholar position is available in the Tarvin Lab in the Department of Integrative Biology and the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at the University of California, Berkeley. The project focuses on the genetic and physiological basis of kleptocnidy in nudibranch mollusks, a striking biological process in which these animals steal and store microscopic stinging structures (nematocysts) from their prey. The postdoc will work in a collaborative research environment that connects Berkeley’s...

[4-year Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership PhD studentship including tuition fees paid directly to the University, a stipend of £21,805 for 2026/27, and a Research Training Support Grant of £5,000 per year.] This PhD studentship at the University of East Anglia focuses on a major question in evolutionary genetics: why sexually antagonistic genes persist in populations even when they are harmful in one sex. Building on recent work from the supervisor’s lab, the projec...

Louisiana State University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the Louisiana State University Museum of Natural Science (LSUMNS) and collaborate with Dr. Gregory Thom and members of the Department of Biological Sciences. The position is part of an NSF-funded project, A genomic-architecture-aware approach for resolving a taxonomically complete phylogeny of parrots . The researcher will lead computational genomic analyses to infer a phylogeny encompassing more than 700 parrot taxa using w...

The Yorkshire Environmental Sciences Doctoral Training Network (YES-DTN) is recruiting more than 26 fully funded PhD scholars for environmental science research projects in the United Kingdom. Projects are hosted by the University of Leeds and the University of York , bringing together research schools and departments across environmental and natural sciences. The network’s research spans Dynamic Earth and Natural Hazards , Atmosphere and Climate , and Ecology, Evolution and Biodiversity . Parti...

This monthly Complexity Cat thread collects academic opportunities and research-related calls across disciplines, including grants, fellowships, postdoctoral positions, a PhD opening, a workshop, and a call for papers. Featured opportunities include the British Academy/Leverhulme Small Research Grants for humanities and social sciences research; the SNF Agora Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship at Johns Hopkins University, focused on civic engagement, democracy, and inclusive dialogue; and an Assist...

Eawag’s Department of Fish Ecology and Evolution is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to investigate fish migration and life history variation in anadromous Arctic charr. The project examines how glacial inputs shape fjord environments and how these environmental differences influence the ecology, movement patterns, foraging, phenotypic divergence, and local distinctiveness of Arctic charr populations. The research will compare populations using glacial-fed and tundra streams, fjords influenced ...

The Zhang Lab at Saint Louis University is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow for research at the intersection of bioinformatics, comparative genomics, structural analysis, and machine learning. The position is centered on independent computational research with an emphasis on protein bioinformatics, evolutionary analysis, and structural bioinformatics, alongside the development and application of machine-learning approaches. The fellow will contribute to manuscript and grant preparation, includin...
