We are the Plant Evolution and Biodiversity group led by Associate Professor Wolf Eiserhardt at the Department of Biology at Aarhus University in Denmark, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in the UK. We are a mix of people at different career stages (from undergraduate to Assoc. Prof.) who love to ask questions about the diversity and evolution of plants, pick holes into existing theories, and chase the evidence we need to prove we're right - even if it takes us deep into the rainforest (well, especially then). We do this in many ways, criss-crossing several fields including genomics, phylogenetics, macroevolution, comparative biology, biogeography, macroecology, community ecology, and taxonomy. We go wherever our curiosity about plants takes us!
We are a friendly and welcoming group that values team work, openness and sharing. We also think science should be fun, and all academic seriousness needs to be balanced with a healthy social side. If this sounds like a group you might want to collaborate with or join, be it for a student project or a postdoc, please give us a shout!
