Evan P Kingsley, PhD

I am an evolutionary biologist studying the developmental genetic basis of evolutionary adaptation. I will start my lab in the Biology Department at Rhodes College in Fall, 2024.

Previously, I was a postdoc in the lab of Cliff Tabin, combining genomics and classical embryological techniques to study the evolutionary and developmental origin of the syrinx, the avian voicebox.

I received my PhD in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University in the lab of Hopi Hoekstra, where I worked on the evolution of tail length variation in deer mice.

Before that, I worked on early cleavage in snail embryos as a technician in Dave Lambert’s lab at the University of Rochester.
