PhD Opportunities in Evolutionary Biology in Norway

University of Agder (UiA), Norway is recruiting a PhD student in evolutionary ecology / terrestrial ecology to study how crop pests evolve under sustained biological control. The project combines field sampling in Brazil , laboratory experiments, and quantitative genetics to investigate how decades of contrasting biocontrol histories have shaped resistance and other life-history traits. This is a three-year salaried PhD position with a gross annual salary of NOK 550,800 . The role includes exten...

PhD Research Fellow in Population Genomics at the Natural History Museum, University of Oslo , Norway. This 4-year PhD fellowship is centered on the genomics of North Atlantic killer whales (Orcinus orca) and aims to reconstruct how populations colonised high latitudes and responded to past climatic warming during the Pleistocene–Holocene transition . The project combines an existing dataset of around 200 contemporary genomes with a new time series of ancient killer whale genomes generated withi...

PhD Research Fellow in Terrestrial Ecology at the University of Agder (UiA), Norway, in the Faculty of Engineering and Science, Department of Natural Sciences. This is a 3-year, 100% PhD position based at Campus Kristiansand . The project sits in evolutionary ecology and terrestrial ecology , asking how natural populations respond to strong human-imposed selection pressures. The research combines field sampling, laboratory experiments, and statistical modelling to study genetic variation in comp...
