Daniel Pincheira-Donoso
Lecturer in Evolutionary Biology & Macroecology at Queen's University Belfast (UK) since 2019. His research combines a number of theoretical and empirical approaches, and encompasses a range of fields, including selection theory, the ecological and genetic basis of adaptive evolution and speciation, macroecology, climate change biology and more recently, conservation. He is the author of over 90 publications, has delivered lectures and talks at multiple institutions around the world, and his work and academic profile have received global media attention. Daniel has been elected Fellow of the Linnean Society of London (2017) and is a Fellow of the British Higher Education Academy (2012), and is the recipient of the 2018 Philippi Medal for Science awarded by the National Museum of Natural History of Chile. Since 2019, he holds a Visiting Professorship in Evolutionary Biology at the Universidad de La Serena (Chile). He is an Associate Editor for Global Ecology and Biogeography. Daniel received his PhD in Evolutionary Biology from the University of Exeter (2008) and previously a BSc in Biology from the Universidad de Concepcion in Chile (2003). Before joining QUB, Daniel held faculty positions at the University of Lincoln (2012-2018), and Nottingham Trent University (2018-2019), following three previous postdoctoral positions at the Centre for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter (2008-2012). |
