Open Positions
Interested in joining the group?
We’re looking for curious, motivated individuals passionate about theoretical biology and eco-evolutionary dynamics. We design projects with the interests of the candidates in mind.
Bachelor’s & Master’s Projects
The group offers a range of projects appropriate for a Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis in theoretical biology, spanning multiple scales of organisation:
Biological Systems — Eco-evolutionary dynamics of mutualistic and parasitic relationships, ecological data analysis, evolution of endosymbiosis, originator dynamics, resistance evolution, and more.
Cultural Systems — Reinforcement learning dynamics, eco-evolutionary dynamics of cooperation, collective beliefs and trust, and more.
Toolbox Development — Branching processes, evolutionary game theory, learning dynamics and Bayesian analysis, connecting population genetics and evolutionary games, and more.
For inspiration, browse our Publications page or get in touch.
