Insect eggs are incredibly intricate and complex structures which are poorly studied compared to sperm. To fertilise insect eggs, sperm must pass through a tiny pore called a micropyle, which connect to a channel leading inside the egg. Through our previous work on insect egg and sperm, we have shown that sperm and egg micropyles co-evolve.

The aim of this project is to quantify and explore the form and function of insect egg micropyles across insects by combining novel methods across evolutionary analysis, mathematical modelling, micro-scale experiments and 3D printing.

You will have a PhD (or close to completion) in biophysics, bioengineering, mathematical biology or a closely allied discipline along with experience in creating, writing, enhancing, and running code in R/Python, using and developing microfluidic devices and advanced imaging.
