I have a fully funded PhD position available for a student to study
current natural selection in albatross populations.

The student will apply and develop cutting-edge statistical methods
to quantify patterns of natural selection acting on series of traits,
infer the causal mechanisms of selection, and study the interplay of
demography and selection in wild populations. The work will use data
from the long-term monitoring of several albatross populations at French
sub-antarctic territories. The student will contribute to fieldwork on
Kerguelen island and collect original data on nest properties.

The student will be based at CECB (affiliated La Rochelle Universit� -
CNRS), Chiz�, France. The research campus is located in the middle of
a forest in the countryside, 1h from the Atlantic coast.  The expected
starting date is October 2024, for a duration of 3 years.

The project description can be found here:

Interested candidates can contact me informally for extra details.
