Another great job opportunity @BristolBioSci listed in the post below. This one is a lectureship in evolutionary biology, and we are looking for an academic lead to our MSc in bioinformatics, so genomics and phylogenetics will be strong cards to play!

Did you ever wonder why vascular plant shoots don’t terminate in sporangia like bryophytes do? I’m excited to be able to offer a 4-year funded PhD @BristolBioSci to find out! Project info on findaphd.com & please get in touch if you’d like to know more.
