Postdoctoral Researchers

Welcome to the dedicated hub for GEE Early Career Researchers.

GEE is home to over 50 research groups and a thriving community of some 200 Postdoctoral Researchers, PhD Students, and support staff. This section of our site is aimed at showcasing our GEE postdoctoral community, by presenting our representatives and including a list of our postdoctoral researchers. We also signpost resources, training opportunities, networks and more.

Support for Postdoctoral Researchers

The Division of Biosciences provides a range of support for its postdoctoral researchers to help achieve their aspirations in both career and work-life balance.

Meet our Postdoctoral Representatives

I am an evolutionary physiologist with a soft spot for mitochondria and cellular bioenergetics. I take advantage of different experimental models (yeast, bivalves, insects, fish and human cells) to explore:
i) the adaptive value of non-neutral mitochondrial DNA variations, and the functional role of supernumerary mitochondrial genes; 
ii) the bioenergetics underlying sexual dimorphism and the sexual antagonistic impact of a uniparental inheritance of cytoplasmic organelles;
iii) the co-evolutionary dynamics between the mitochondrial and the nuclear genomes, including intergenomic conflicts;
iv) how interacting genetic and environmental factors impact adaptation and population dynamics.

At UCL, I investigate the extent to which mito-nuclear incompatibilities impact local adaptation and hybrid breakdown given thermal and nutritional stress in Drosophila melanogaster, as well as the adaptive value of heteroplasmy in bees.
