What are the origins of biodiversity? We study tropical butterflies from South America to understand evolution at the population and species level. We like genetics, and are doing a lot of genome analysis at the moment, but also think that we need to understand development, behaviour and ecology to make sense of evolution. So our research ranges across all of these topics.
Our research group celebrates diversity and is open to researchers from all backgrounds; ethnic, cultural, gender, sexuality. We welcome applications to work with us from anywhere in the world. We strive to provide a supportive work environment for everyone irrespective of race, gender or culture.
