Group Leader at the Tree of Life Programme of the Wellcome Sanger InstituteRoyal Society University Research FellowBranco Weiss FellowMy research team studies the rapid diversification of ithomiini butterflies and peacock spiders and the rapid range expansion of wall lizards in Switzerland. We use genomics to elucidate the roles of chromosomal rearrangements, hybridisation and the genetic architecture of traits under selection.https://www.sanger.ac.uk/group/meier-group/

Independent research fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, working in collaboration with Chris Jiggins at the Zoology Department at the University of Cambridge. In combination with my Branco Weiss Fellowship, I could start my own line of research on the rapid diversification of ithomiini butterflies. I also supervised multiple students and gave lectures at the University of Cambridge.

Postdoc in the group of Ole Seehausen at the University of Bern and EAWAG. We received an SNSF grant to strongly upscale the work of my PhD on the rapid adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in Lake Victoria. In addition to performing research, I supervised five students and gave lectures at the University of Bern.
