Master-projects Evolutionary Genetics Group

There are several opportunities for master-projects within the Evolutionary Genetics group, and we welcome prospective students year-round. Although most of our projects are laboratory-based, there are occasional possibilities for doing fieldwork as well. Please have a look at the current projects listed below, or for general enquiries contact Prof. Leo Beukeboom.

Current projects

• Genomic characterisation of inbreeding depression [PDF]
• Genomics of host-parasitoid interactions [PDF]
• Unravelling the genetic basis of clutch size in a parasitoid wasp [PDF]

• Altitudinal differentiation in the diapause response of Nasonia vitripennis  [PDF]

Programs and admission

The master-projects of Evolutionary Genetics can be done as part of your study at the University of Groningen, as part of:

• The Erasmus Mundus Master Program in Evolutionary Biology (MEME) RUG Master Biology

• RUG Top Programme Evolutionary Biology

For questions concerning applications, housing, visa etc., please check the TopMaster website  of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

We also welcome Dutch and international students from outside the University of Groningen, for whom our master-projects can be a part of the MSc program at your own university.
