The position is embedded in a collaborative setting between the Division of Philosophy and Applied Ethics within the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and Prioriteringscent...

PhD project on convergent evolution in buzz-pollinated flowers at the Plant Ecology and Evolution program , Department of Ecology and Genetics, Uppsala University. This doctoral project examines how similar floral traits have evolved repeatedly across independent plant lineages in response to bee pollinators. The student will investigate buzz-pollinated flowers, a widespread example of convergent evolution, to compare similarity in floral form with similarity in function across several plant fam...
