About the Project
Declines in insect populations and species are arguably one of the most concerning symptoms of the biodiversity crisis, given their importance in underpinning food webs and ecosystem processes. Work in the Nadeau lab uses genomic tools to understand fundamental processes underpinning biodiversity, such as adaptation and speciation, primarily in tropical butterflies. We would be keen to recruit a PhD student, who has or is applying for external funding, and would be interested in working on projects using genomic data to understand levels of variation in insect populations and how these relate to adaptation to variable or changing environments. Projects could involve field work, experimental work and/or laboratory work and would involve bioinformatic analysis of genomic data. You are welcome to propose your own project within this broad area, or to contact Dr Nadeau to discuss possible projects in more detail.
