PhD student in plant evolution

Study convergent evolution in buzz-pollinated flowers, comparing floral form and function across independent plant lineages, in the Plant Ecology and Evolution programme of the Department of Ecology and Genetics. The experimental project uses bumblebees, bee-sized robotic shakers and X-ray micro-computed tomography of flowers, together with glasshouse plant cultivation.

Master's degree in biology, evolutionary biology, plant biology or electrical engineering (or equivalent), ability to work with plants and live bees and with delicate electro-mechanical equipment, and full proficiency in English.
