Offer Description

Some of the most diverse lineages on our planet (e.g. Darwin's Finches and Hawaiian Silverswords) are found in oceanic archipelagos. Paradoxically, species in these regions often have small population sizes, frequently experience bottlenecks and founder events, and are prone to inbreeding—all factors typically detrimental to genetic diversity. How, then, can these remotely located lineages, subject to such genetic constraints, maintain enough diversity to radiate and evolve? This project aims to explore this fascinating paradox.

This Postdoc project will incorporate ecology, genomics, and evolutionary biology to investigate the evolution of genetic variation on three lineages within the Asteraceae family in the Galápagos: Scalesia, Lecocarpus, and Darwiniothamnus. There may be opportunities for fieldwork in the Galápagos and research visits abroad (Australia, Canada, Ecuador) as part of this research project.

The successful candidate will be encouraged to develop their own research direction within the broader framework of the project and alongside international collaborators. This project study will integrate a variety of molecular and bioinformatic approaches, benefiting from a large herbarium collection.
