I would greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word about these opportunities to potential candidates.</p><p class="">The project aims to perform a comparative analysis of reproductive skew in Xylocopine bees. The plan involves analyzing reproductive skew across multiple species of Xylocopinae (Ceratina, Xylocopa, and Allodapines) to identify the key factors shaping reproductive inequality and, ultimately, the origins of eusociality. More information is in attached files. </p><p class="">The application deadline is January 15, 2025. In February, I plan to conduct phone interviews with the most promising candidates. The positions are set to begin in September 2025.</p><p class="">Thank you very much for your support. If you or your students or friends require more information about these positions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.</p><p class="">Best wishes,<br class="">Michael</p></div>
