PhD Projects
The centre for ecology and conservation has a vibrant PhD student community with over 20 postgraduate research students and a larger number of MSc students

I do not have any PhD sholarships available this year, however, there are a number of university scholarships that are open to all candidates (including non-UK citizens). I am keen to supervise PhD projects on a broad range of evolutionary questions, particularly using insect model systems. Get in touch!

Post-Doctoral opportunities
I am keen to collaborate with post-doctoral researchers interested in similar areas to myself. If you are a non-UK EU citizen you can apply for Fellowships from a number of organisations: consult NERC, BBSRC, Wellcome Trust, Royal Society and Marie Curie webpages for Fellowship eligibility and guidelines. If you are a non EU-citizen, you may be eligible for funding from Marie Curie, Royal Society, NSF International Research Fellowship Program (US only), Life Science Research Foundation (US only), Wellcome International and Human Frontiers programs. We are very keen to host research fellows. If you are thinking about writing a fellowship application and fancy working somewhere nice with a strong evolutionary ecology focus, drop me a line.

' To celebrate this auspicious event the Centre for Ecology and Conservation hosts an annual Darwin Landing Lecture followed by a dinner at one of the restaurants favoured by Charles during his visit...
