Early Stage Researcher Positions Marie Curie Initial Training Network

June 22, 2008

SPECIATION: A Marie Curie Initial Training Network

Nine ‘Early-stage researcher’ positions are expected to be available, for 3
years in each case, starting in the autumn of 2008. ESR will register for a
PhD degree in one of the 4 partner universities: Sheffield (UK), Jyvaskyla
(Finland), Groningen (The Netherlands) and St Andrews (UK).

We anticipate projects in the following areas (lead supervisors):

1.1 Genetic incompatibilities and the evolution of reproductive barriers
between allopatric Drosophila populations (Anneli Hoikkala/Maaria Kankare,
Jyvaskyla)
1.2 Genetics and genomics of prezygotic isolation in Nasonia (Leo
Beukeboom/Louis van de Zande, Groningen)
1.3 Genetics of reproductive isolation in grasshopper hybrid zones (Roger
Butlin, Sheffield)
2.1 The role of sexual selection in the evolution of reproductive isolation
(Rhonda Snook, Sheffield)
2.2 Genetics and genomics of song preference in Drosophila (Mike Ritchie, St
Andrews)
3.1 Modes of speciation and diversity patterns (Franjo Weissing/Leo
Beukeboom, Groningen)
3.2 Variation in developmental mode and divergence in Pygospio and Littorina
(Emily Knott, Jyvaskyla)
3.3 The genetic basis of variation in reproductive diapause in Drosophila
montana (Anneli Hoikkala/Maaria Kankare, Jyvaskyla)
3.4 The genetic basis of variation in reproductive diapause in Nasonia
vitripennis (Leo Beukeboom/Louis van de Zande, Groningen)
