I received my Ph.D. in Animal Ecology in 1992 at the University of Umeå and my docentship in the same area in 1997. After a post doc at the University of New Mexico (1993-1995), I held a research professorship at the Department of Ecology and Environmental Science, University of Umeå, Sweden. Since January 2002, I am a Professor in Animal Ecology at the Department of Ecology and Genetics, Uppsala University. My area of research interest is evolutionary genetics and evolutionary ecology, broadly defined. Current research projects involve (A) the evolutionary significance of epistatic interactions between mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, (B) the evolutionary implications of sexual conflict, (C) the evolution of animal genitalia, (D) speciation and (E) genetic and ontogenetic constraints on adaptive evolution. My research is primarily funded by the Swedish Research Council (VR) and the European Research Council (ERC).

Positions open for application in my lab:

· PhD position on the architecture of sexually antagonistic genetic variation.

· Postdoctoral position (2 years) on the architecture of sexually antagonistic genetic variation.

· Postdoctoral position (4 years) on the genomics of metabolic rate.
