Great NERC PhD project to come to UCL and work with @maxreuter.bsky.social and me on balancing selection, sexual antagonism, experimental evolution and natural populations.

If you would rather develop your own project for the doctoral programme, that is also possible as their 'Route 2'. If you have an idea that you would like to discuss, then please get in touch!
