Our own dr Jonathan Parrett has been recently employed at the Adam Mickiewicz University as an assistant professor.
Jon did his PhD at the Queen Mary University of London, where he studied the role of sexual selection in adaptation to novel environments using dung beetles and moths. Later, he moved to our group, where he worked as a post-doc on evolve and resequence experiments and as a PI in the NCN grant focusing on the effect of sexual selection on genetic rescue and adaptation rates of small and declining populations. Results of these studies were presented in numerous articles published in prestigious journals, including for example Nature Ecology and Evolution, Ecology Letters and Evolution. He plans to continue his research on sexual selection and hopes to pass his knowledge to interested students.
Jon, congratulations and welcome on board!
