Chris Jiggins PhD

Chris graduated in Natural Sciences (Zoology) here in Cambridge and then studied for his PhD in UCL with Jim Mallet. He then had a year working on a conservation project in Ecuador, before coming back to UCL for a postdoc. However, after a brief stint in Colombia, Chris mainly worked in Panama at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute during this time, where he was then awarded a Tupper 3 year fellowship. After various unsuccessful applications for positions in the US and the UK, he was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship at the University of Edinburgh, where he stayed for around 4 years before moving to a lectureship in Cambridge in 2006. Chris was promoted to Reader in 2010.
