Evolutionary Biology Professors and Supervisors in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in historical genomics, ancient DNA, conservation genetics, bioinformatics, evolution, and population genetics . This project, supervised by Dr Anders Bergström at the School of Biological Sciences , focuses on the declining red squirrel in Britain . The research will investigate how historical population decline, invasive grey squirrels, hunting, deforestation, and past translocations from continental Europe have shaped the genetic make-up, ances...

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 Edinburgh in Host Receptor Evolution as a Barrier to Viral Spillover , offered through the EASTBIO BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership . This project sits at the intersection of cell biology , genetics , molecular biology , and evolutionary analysis . The research aims to identify and characterise viral entry receptors and host factors that influence whether viruses can cross species barriers and cause zoonotic transmission. The student will focus on viruses ...
