Dr Johanna Paijmans

My research interests have a strong focus on tracing population shifts in response to environmental changes (e.g. climate change), using the palaeogenomic toolkit. Understanding the long-term movement of populations and species under the influence of changing environment is vital to understand how populations adapt (or fail to adapt) to new challenges. I am particularly excited about ancient DNA, as it allows for the investigation of extirpated populations and extinct species: these are essentially cases where the population failed to adapt to an environmental change, and thus of particular importance to study for future conservation of modern populations.

I am willing to supervise a PhD
