Evolution & Parasitism
We are seeking two motivated students with an interest in parasite
ecology and evolution to join our group working on avian malaria.
Candidate should have interest in intensive field work and have a
good background in molecular biology and its use in evolutionary and
ecological biology.
She/he must have a Masters degree (MSc) in order to qualify for our
PhD program.
One aspect of the project (student 1) will be to experimentally test
the effects of the Plasmodium parasite on its host, the great tit
Parus major, as well as the immune response of the host. The
competition between different strains of the parasite will also be
studied using qPCR to follow the course of primary infection.
The other part of the project (student 2) will deal with the vector
of the Plasmodium, a mosquito species. Host choice experiments, as
well as the effects of the parasite on life history traits of the
vector will be experimentally studied. This part will be partly
conducted in the museum of zoology in Lausanne in collaboration with
Dr Olivier Glaizot.
Both students will have to collaborate intensively.
We are located in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the
University of Lausanne (Switzerland). The Dept. of Ecology and
Evolution in Lausanne is situated on the shores of Lake Geneva and
provides a pleasant & exciting research environment and a strong PhD
program.
The studentships are for a period of 3 years. Starting date ideally
by late spring, early summer 2008 but this date can be extended for
exceptional candidates. Closing date for application is 19 Mai 2008.
To apply, applicants should send a CV, a letter of motivation and
name of two reference persons by EMAIL to Philippe Christe, Dept of
Ecology and Evolution, University of Lausanne, Switzerland. Email:
