🔥 We'll soon be advertising a 2-year Postdoctoral Research Fellow position at UCL, focusing on insect single-cell mitochondrial genomics. 🔥
More details coming soon. Feel free to get in touch in this sounds fun or share with anyone who might be interested.

🚨 PhD position available ! 🚨

I am hiring a PhD student to work with me on the evolution of plant sexual systems 🌺 at @unifrbiology.bsky.social ! The position is funded for 4 years by @snsf.ch as part of my Ambizione fellowship. More info here: tinyurl.com/monoecy

🌱 Please RP and share widely ! 🌱

With @saramitri.bsky.social, @sonjalehtinen.bsky.social and L. Lehmann we’ve launched the UNIL Center for Theory in Ecology and Evolution @unil.bsky.social🇨🇭

To kick things off, we’re offering short visiting fellowships for theorists in ecology & evolution. Apply & pls RP 😀

🌺 New preprint out with John Pannell and @charlesmullon.bsky.social ! 🌺

We show that selection broadly favours a form of plasticity for the selfing rate where individuals adjust their mating behaviour to their condition — their overall vitality owing to their genetic background and environment. ⤵️

Jasmin Rees PhD chapter as a paper just out at the AJHG @ajhgnews.bsky.social, with Sergi Castellano, who first envisioned the study. Jas investigated signatures of human local genetic adaptation in hundreds of micronutrient-associated genes.

I'm very happy to share that our paper describing the evolution of sex chromosomes in brown algae is out!🎉 This project was a long journey, but it came together into a nice story 🧬 🌊 Grateful to everyone who helped along the way!

I'll be presenting poster 327 at #ESEB2025 today - come have a look if you're interested in the evolution of sex and haploid-diploid life cycles!

My poster P02.385 is now up on its board! Come say hi if you want to learn about the role of sexual conflict in transitions from combined to separate sexes is plants! 🌱 #ESEB2025

Thanks for putting this together Flo - I'm here too but missing from the pack!
