Position Details (Master's)

The University of Liverpool offers a degree in Biological Sciences (Evolution, Ecology and Behaviour). We study patterns in the natural environment, from the behaviour of individual organisms to dynamics of populations and the diversity of communities. Our aim is to go beyond description of these patterns - we wish to understand the ecological and evolutionary factors that drive them.

The Biological Sciences (Evolution, Ecology and Behaviour) program at University of Liverpool span the range of biosciences from the fine-scale resolution of biomolecular structure through the genome-wide analysis of cells and organisms, to the evolution and ecology of organisms in their natural environment.

Research background

Underpinning this diversity, we offer world-class facilities and infrastructure for research, and superb links to internationally excellent partners in both the academic and industrial sectors.

Our research seeks to answer fundamental questions, and to address key issues of contemporary concern. We were awarded a prize in the UK-wide BBSRC 2011 ‘Excellence with Impact’ competition, which commended the work of our graduate students in impact activities.

Our PhD completion rates are ranked amongst the highest in the UK by the Times Higher Education Supplement, one of only two universities to have repeatedly ranked in the top four institutions.

Research themes

  • Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Disease
  • Evolution: Phenotype to Genome
  • Mammalian Behaviour and Evolution
  • Ecology: Phenotype to Ecosystem
