We have 89 population genetics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
E5 DLA Project; The genomic aftermath of colliding expansion waves – a case study in Scottish Speckled Wood butterflies
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Ecologists are documenting range changes including very rapid expansions in response to climate change for an increasing number of taxa. Read more
The genomics and spatial dynamics of semi-permeable species barriers - the Marbled White hybrid zone as a test case
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Hybrid zones can be understood as natural genome collision experiments that allow detailed inferences about the interplay of evolutionary forces in nature. Read more
PhD Studentship in Understanding adenovirus diversity and immunity for pandemic preparedness
About the Project. Applications are invited for a fully funded 4-year PhD Studentship in Understanding adenovirus diversity and immunity for pandemic preparedness, based in the Department of Genetics at Cambridge University under the supervision of Dr Charlotte Houldcroft. Read more
PhD positions in Evolution and Ecology, Ageing and Genetics at University College London – starting October 2025
The Department for Genetics, Evolution and Environment (GEE) at UCL welcomes applicants who are passionate about ecology and evolutionary biology, and the evolution of genomes and life histories, to apply to our Doctoral Training Programme starting in October 2025. Read more
CENTA funded - Restoring the Glory: The Conservation Genomics of the Kentish Glory Moth
Project highlights. Engage with, and become an integral part of, an exciting multi-institutional conservation project . Carry out academic research in partnership with CASE partner Twycross Zoo . Read more
Modelling the metapopulation of the southern African common hippopotamus
The common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) is one of a handful of extant African megaherbivore species. Unlike other megafauna, hippo are relatively understudied. Read more
Understanding within-host genetic diversity and evolution of human-associated bacteria
Evolution of major bacterial pathogens poses great risks for their hosts as it potentially allows better adapted, more virulent and/or more resistant variants to emerge. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Adapting to Change: Integrating Climate Projections and Genomic Tools to Future-Proof Fisheries Management
Excited about transforming how food resources are managed under rapidly shifting climate change? Are you eager to learn cutting-edge techniques to make a real-world change to food sustainability and conservation? Apply for this PhD to innovate novel tools for predicting fish population responses to climate change and tackle urgent challenges in marine conservation and fisheries. Read more
E5 DLA Project; Understanding selfish genes and selfish self-fertilisation
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Toxin-antidote (TA) gene pairs are a form of selfish genes that ensure their transmission by causing host lethality if not inherited together. Read more
EastBio: Understanding selfish genes and selfish self-fertilisation.
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Toxin-antidote (TA) gene pairs are a form of selfish genes that ensure their transmission by causing host lethality if not inherited together. Read more
CENTA funded - Multigenerational epigenetic consequences of pollution exposure in wild fish populations
Project highlights. Fieldwork to sample wild/semi-wild populations of freshwater fish . State-of-the-art epigenetic sequencing using Nanopore technology . Read more
EASTBIO (CASE): Closing the genotype-to-phenotype gap: leveraging multi-omics data to transform precision selection in pigs
In contemporary livestock breeding, quantitative genetics models are used to select breeding animals to enhance productivity, reproduction and health. Read more
Flower power: Evolutionary and applied genomics of flower colour variation in Anigozanthos
Applied BioSciences at Macquarie University is offering a research scholarship to a highly motivated PhD candidate to study the ecological and evolutionary genomics of flower colour on the iconic Australian plants known as kangaroo paws (Anigozanthos). Read more
Peatlands, plants, and pollinators - An informatics approach to protecting natural capital
Background. To effectively protect natural habitats and biodiversity, accurate and up-to-date information is required on species and ecosystems to allow data driven evidence-based strategies for managing habitats and conserving species. Read more
Transgenerational epigenetic consequences of pollution exposure.
Additional supervisor: Dr Yolanda Markaki, The Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of Leicester. Environmental insults such as pollution can cause transgenerational negative health outcomes in both wild animal populations and humans. Read more
