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

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...

The Schultz Lab at Lehigh University is recruiting a postdoctoral research associate to lead computational or hybrid wet-lab/computational research at the interface of genomics and evolution. The position centers on understanding the animal tree of life through comparative approaches that connect genome evolution, cell-type evolution, and phylogenomics. The successful researcher will contribute to projects spanning early animal evolution, deep-sea adaptations, methodological development for cros...

The STRI SIFP Predoctoral Student Fellowship supports doctoral candidates who want to carry out dissertation research at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. It is part of the Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program and is designed for PhD-level researchers working on a dissertation project with an in-country research period of three to twelve months. The opportunity is centered on research at STRI, a major tropical research institute known for work in ecological and evoluti...

The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute is offering a postdoctoral researcher fellowship through the Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program (SIFP) for research based at STRI in Panama. This award supports independent postdoctoral research in an internationally recognized tropical research environment. Fellows can conduct projects for 3 to 24 months , making this a flexible opportunity for researchers whose work benefits from access to STRI’s scientific setting and research community. The...

The STRI SIFP Graduate Student Fellowship supports graduate-level research at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama through a 10-week Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program award. This opportunity is designed for students working in ecology and evolutionary biology, with research based at STRI’s tropical research environment. The fellowship is open to graduate students who have completed at least one semester and is intended for students at the master’s and PhD level. As part...

The STRI SIFP Biodiversity Genomics Postdoctoral Fellowship supports postdoctoral research at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. Fellows join collaborative research at STRI and apply comparative genomic approaches to questions in biodiversity, evolution, and ecology. The project area includes phylogenetics, population genomics, metagenomics, and transcriptomics, with a clear emphasis on genomic methods for studying biodiversity. The fellowship is part of the Smithsonian Insti...
