This PhD project aims to uncover the evolutionary forces that maintain genetic variation in disease susceptibility in natural populations, using bank voles 🐭 (Myodes glareolus) as a model.

You will combine whole-genome resequencing 🧬 and pathogen screening 🦠 to test how fluctuating selection and antagonistic pleiotropy shape genetic diversity, with a special focus on the trade-off between resistance and autoimmune disease risk / immunopathology.

The project is ideal for candidates excited by fundamental evolutionary questions at the intersection of wildlife disease ecology, genomics, and immunology. You will have significant freedom to develop the project in directions that match your interests and strengths. 🔬🧪🐭
