Using markers of gene evolutionary age to identify function within gene regulatory networks related to embryo implantation
Healthy ageing starts from conception. Environmental influences during early development affect the risk of developing chronic diseases in later life and impact a healthy ageing trajectory. Read more
Sex and Reproduction During the Evolution of Apes
. Reproduction is the prime imperative for species and even helps define life itself. For humans, reproductive biology, mating behaviours, and parenting overlap in profound and complex ways throughout our lives. Read more
Investigating the use of evolutionary computation in the development of autonomous systems.
Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD studentship within the Department of Computer and Information Sciences at the University of Strathclyde to investigate the use of evolutionary computation in the development of autonomous systems. Read more
The costs and consequences of antimicrobial resistance in microbial communities
Applicants are invited for a fully funded PhD position in the group of Dr Andrew Letten at the University of Queensland to study resource competition and antibiotic resistance in microbial communities. Read more
Harnessing the power of plant social interactions to breed better rice
Applications are invited for a fully funded, 42 month PhD studentship commencing in October 2022 at the University of Aberdeen, as part of The newly established. Read more
Evolutionary Perspectives on Medicinal Plant Use
Project Overview. This project uses phylogenetic comparative methods to characterise medicinal plant use. You will use published data to identify the ethnobotanical uses of selected species, and the extent to which they are characterised in terms of phytochemistry and pharmacology. Read more
Evolutionary ecology of host-parasite interactions
Proposed Start Date. September 2022. The body is home to trillions of microbes. There has been a surge of interest on the effects of these microbes on host health, often as agents of infectious disease. Read more
Evolutionary mapping of algorithms to arrays of processors
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Nanoscience
The Network-on-Chip (NoC) paradigm is a subject of intense research in both the academic and the industrial worlds. Based on the parallel execution of program threads on many relatively simple processing elements, this approach suffers however from a crucial weakness. Read more
Fossil insights into the developmental evolution of animal bodyplans during the “Cambrian Explosion”
PROJECT TITLE. Fossil insights into the developmental evolution of animal bodyplans during the “Cambrian Explosion”. Lead Institution. Read more
HFSP funded studentship on the evolution of insect sperm form and function
University of Lincoln is offering one fully-funded PhD studentship in connection to a three-year Human Frontiers Science Program project entitled “The evolution of sperm cell shape and motion”. Read more
Exploring evolutionary change through genomic sequencing of museum specimens
Next-generation sequencing has made it possible to sequence the genomes of museum specimens dating back several hundred years. In this project you will generate genomic data from museum specimens of birds, principally great tits. Read more
The genetics/genomics of adaptive evolutionary change
The basic process of evolution by natural selection involves genetic changes that confer an advantage in survival or reproduction. Read more
Self-funded project: Ecological and evolutionary interactions in insect symbiont communities
Application accepted for either MSc by Research or PhD. Most organisms host bacterial symbionts, which can substantially affect the biology of their hosts. Read more
Plant-insect interactions in a changing world
Project Overview: . Insects associated with plants comprise one of the most diverse groups of species on earth. Their impact on the ecology and evolution of their host plants is widely recognised, as is their contribution to multiple important ecosystem services. Read more
Evolution of ecological and species diversity in freshwater fishes
Ecological, morphological and evolutionary diversification among sympatric individuals often reflects divergent selective pressures along environmental gradients. Read more
