PhD Students

We are currently offering up to three top up scholarships for suitably qualified Australian Post Graduate Award holders who join our laboratory. The top ups are valued at $5000 pa in addition to the APA. The laboratory also provides generous support for conference travel and research maintenance.

Information on available scholarships can be found at the university research office website.

Honours Students

Potential Supervisors: Ben Oldroyd, Madeleine Beekman, Mary Myerscough (Maths) and Tanya Latty (and combinations thereof).

We invite students interested in evolutionary and population genetics, behavioural ecology, evolutionary biology and entomology to consider projects in our lab. We focus on studies in social insects, but students interested in developing projects in related areas such as conservation genetics are encouraged to discuss their interests with us. We are also interested in co-supervising genetic aspects of any ecology/behavioural projects undertaken in other labs.
