Subject: PhD position in Evolutionary Ecology in the Snook Lab at Stockholm
University
The Snook lab at Stockholm University is seeking a fully funded 4 year PhD
student to begin as soon as possible. We study the evolutionary ecology of
reproduction and genetic mechanisms underlying adaptation and plasticity. Our
main study organisms are insects, including Drosophila and butterflies. Working
language in the lab is English.
The PhD project investigates the consequences of climate warming on butterfly
reproduction. Thermal sensitivity of reproduction is well-known but the extent
to which climate warming may affect population persistence and affect response
to climate change is broadly unknown. The project will take a comparative
approach using sister taxa from Pieridae and Nymphalidae that vary in host
plant use, voltinism and geographic distribution. Critical and fertility
thermal limits will be determined in the laboratory across species and across
populations of each species. Traits that associated with thermally induced
sterility will be determined and then used in field work throughout Spain to
establish the ecological relevance of thermal fertility limits via surveys of
natural populations. Using citizen science data on butterfly distribution and
abundance, the project aims to link experimental data on predictors of thermal
fertility limits with field data on fertility loss to generate more
evolutionarily realistic models to improve forecasts of species responses to
future climate change scenarios. Thus, the project is searching for a candidate
with good knowledge in insect ecology, thermal biology and/or evolution.
Experience of fieldwork, insect rearing, and a good grounding in statistics are
considered important qualifications.
Applications are received through the ReachMee portal of Stockholm University.
You must have a Masters degree before starting the position and the application
will require contact details for 2-3 references along with a 2 page maximum
cover letter detailing your previous research and your specific interest in
this project.
Application deadline is February 15, 2023
