The Institute of Infection, Veterinary and Ecological Sciences (IVES) at
the University of Liverpool has developed a new policy where successful
applicants for long-term fellowships schemes (that last 5yrs or more)
are provided a defined pathway to a permanent faculty position at the
end of their fellowship.

We are keen to recruit to our permanent staff through this pathway
across a range of disciplines, including evolutionary biology. We
would anticipate that applicants would be applying to fellowships
schemes from funders such as the Royal Society, NERC, Wellcome, MRC,
and UKRI. Evolutionary biology within IVES is concentrated in (though
not limited to) The Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour. The
department has a vibrant research environment, with 29 faculty staff and
senior fellows leading groups working on topics that include adaptation to
environmental change, ecology and evolution of host-microbe interactions,
evolutionary genomics, social behaviour, life-history and sexual
selection. See more info on the current staff and their interests here:

The University of Liverpool hosts state-of-the-art facilities:
the Centre for Genomics, one of the largest facilities in the UK,
alongside the Centre for Proteome Research, and Computational Biology
Facility make Liverpool an 'omic powerhouse. The University hosts
control temperature facilities for insect and plant research, small
mammal facilities, and molecular labs. We are part of NERC, BBSRC and
MRC doctoral training programmes, offering many opportunities for PhD
student recruitment. Please make initial enquiries to Stuart Wigby, the
IVES Fellowship Lead, via email: ives.fellowships@liverpool.ac.uk. We
typically ask for a CV (and ideally Google Scholar profile), an idea
of which fellowship scheme(s) that you are interested in, and 1 page
research project outline.
