I am excited to announce my promotion to Professor of Evolutionary Ecology
@OxZooDept
@UniofOxford
. Immensely grateful to my family, mentors, colleagues, and students who have inspired and supported me along the way. I am lucky to have such a great community!
Looking to hire a post-doc interested in disease ecology/evolution, population genetics, and biodiversity. Please get in touch if you are interested in joining the King Lab!

are always bad news, right? Well generally yes, but did you know - when it comes to the world of

- a parasitic enemy can turn into an ally under certain conditions?

Our lab studies the evolution, ecology, and genomics of host-pathogen interactions in a changing world (e.g., biodiversity loss, global heating). Happy to talk with potential students! We are a friendly and inclusive group:
