2006 – (Present) – Royal Society University Research Fellow and Professor of Population Biology, University of Sheffield 2004 – 2006 - Royal Society University Research Fellow, University of Oxford 2002 – 2004 – Departmental Lecturer, University of Oxford 2000 – 2002 – Postdoctoral Researcher, University of Oxford 1998 – 2000 – Postdoctoral Researcher, University of East Anglia

My research focuses on modelling population and community dynamics. I am particularly interested in large scale population dynamics, although have a range of interests, including:

Plant population ecology, modelling plant populations, modelling weed populations. Evolutionary ecology, phylogenetic comparative methodology and its application to ecological problems. Theoretical ecology, statistical methodology.
