Evolutionary and conservation genomics group leader at Globe institute, University of Copenhagen 🇲🇽in🇩🇰 https://globe.ku.dk/research/hologenomics/evolutionary-and-conservation-group/

Officially recruiting postdocs at GW. If you are interested in genetic novelty, structural variation, or evo genetics please get in touch! We have data sets on mulitple organisms with large population sizes (Drosophila, Megalonaias nervosa) and species in decline (fireflies, mussels, elephants).

I'm looking for PhD student to join my lab at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (Fall 2027)! If you're interested in evolutionary genomics, conservation genetics, or biogeography, please reach out. I'll also be at #AOS2026 this week talking about sexual selection in small populations.

Just in time for #SMBE2026, our new preprint is out: using 130 genomes spanning ~200 years, fitness data and simulations, we show that conservation rescued the Mauritius kestrel from extinction, but not from genomic erosion. 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #popgen #consgen #conservation

Come to my flash talk tomorrow at Vandsalen room, second session of “Evolutionary-informed management of vulnerable populations in a rapidly changing world “ #SMBE2026 to learn about Rice’s whales genetics, a unique species from the Gulf of Mexico with estimated population of 50 individuals.
