About the speaker:

Paul Rainey is director of Max Planck Institute of Evolutionary Biology, Plön, Germany and Professor of ESPCI in France.

Paul is a highly respected researcher and one of the world's most prominent representatives of experimental evolutionary biology. His work focuses on evolutionary processes, especially evolution through natural selection. He works both theoretically and empirically and uses microbial populations to observe and dissect real-time evolution.

Paul was born in New Zealand and studied biology at the University of Canterbury. He worked at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford, Auckland. He was a professor of evolutionary genetics for the New Zealand Institute for Advanced Study as one of the founders.

Paul is also a visiting professor at Stanford, a fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand, member of EMBO and the Max Planck Society.

All PhD candidates at the Department of Biomedicine are invited to meet Paul at a designated lunch meeting. You will have the opportunity to ask him about career paths and academic experience, or discuss their research projects.
