I need help evo folk... Do we have a name for selection on phenotypes that - across populations of a species - stops them diverging phenotypically (i.e. opposes divergence by drift, makes Qst<Fst). Stops divergence rather than causes convergence, sort of pop-level 'stabilising' process?

No job ad yet, but I'll be hiring a postdoc at Purdue in population genetics/quantitative genetics/genomics in plants. DM if you have relevant experience and are potentially interested.

PhD opp in behavioural Evo genetics with Ned Doctermann. Never been to North Dakota, I imagine it's cold. But if you want to do a PhD in a top notch group with a kind supportive supervisor it's probably a risk worth taking.

Happy new year all. Last couple of weeks for this PhD opp so giving it a bump. Please pass on to anyone who may be interested. I'm back to work 6th and happy to chat to anyone with questions from then on.

Exciting PhD opp with a great supervisory team. Only drawback is you'd have to work mammalian imposters not real fish 😜
