Uppsala University is an international research university focused on the development of science and education. Our most important assets are all the individuals who with their curiosity and their dedication make Uppsala University one of the 100 best universities in the world and one of Sweden’s most exciting work places. Uppsala University has 40,000 students, 6,000 employees and a turnover of SEK 5,500 million.
Starting as soon as possible.
You will work in a project studying mechanisms underlying the evolution of floral traits by identifying targets and agents of selection. You will examine the functional and adaptive significance of differences in traits influencing pollinator attraction and morphological fit between pollinator and flower, explore the relationships between pollen limitation and strength of pollinator-mediated selection, and through comparative analysis determine whether convergent evolution or lineage sorting is responsible for differences in floral traits among habitats in heterogeneous landscapes.
Depending on the study system selected, analysis of the genetic basis of floral variation may also be included. The successful candidate will settle the exact profiles of her/his PhD project together with the supervisor, professor Jon gren.
