Aivar Cirulis – new PhD student

I am a 25 year old guy from Riga, Latvia. I did my Bachelor at the University of Latvia and my Master at Uppsala University. I am interested in studying sex differences, sexual selection and evolution and development of sex.

My PhD project ”The genomic basis of the response to sex-limited selection in a hermaphrodite” will be conducted at the Section for Evolutionary Ecology under supervision of Dr. Jessica Abbott and co-supervised by Prof. Bengt Hansson and Dr. Nils Cronberg. The aim of this project will be to investigate the genetics of sex differences using experimentally evolved populations of the hermaphroditic flatworm Macrostomum ligano that have been selected for male or female fitness.
