Our research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying visual system plasticity and how these processes shape broader evolutionary patterns. You will have the opportunity to apply state-of-the-art methods such as single-cell transcriptomics, QTL mapping, and machine learning. This is an exciting opportunity for students interested in both mechanistic biology and evolutionary theory, with our ultimate goal being to uncover how plasticity drives adaptive evolution, impacting biodiversity and species’ resilience to environmental changes. We encourage applicants with diverse interests in molecular evolution, evolutionary biology, or sensory ecology to apply. You will have the chance to develop your own research questions within the lab’s focus areas, fostering independence and helping you build your scientific identity.
