Doctoral Research in Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia, United Kingdom
The research integrates quantitative genetics and transcriptomics in Drosophila melanogaster with simulations in SLiM to address the following questions:
1. What is the role of dominance reversal between sex and temperature in facilitating climate adaptation?
2. What is the genetic architecture of sex- / temperature-specific fitness?
3. How does dominance-reversed gene expression relate to fitness?
4. Can we identify specific genomic loci that mediate climate adaptation?
There will be many opportunities to develop your own ideas and tailor your PhD experience to match your career ambitions.
