Curriculum Vitae

João Carlos Aguiar Macedo Teixeira

I am a population geneticist interested in the mechanistic processes of Evolution and in establishing cross-disciplinary dialogues to understand the past. I work across a wide range of topics at the forefront of evolutionary genetics, including demographic inference, comparative genomics, conservation genetics and natural selection, using both modern and ancient DNA. I am particularly interested in human evolution and the admixture events between human groups in the Pleistocene, historical human migrations in Europe and the Americas, the dynamics of domestication and the impacts of these processes for human health. I am deeply committed to interdisciplinary research and in combining genetics with other disciplines, in particular archaeology and philosophy, to establish new research paradigms and build holistic perspectives about Evolution. At present, I hold a Discovery Early Career Researcher Award from the Australian Research Council that allows me to develop my research at the Australian National University, in Canberra. I am an Integrated Researcher and Scientific Vice-Coordinator of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies of the University of Coimbra (CEIS20), and Director/Principal Investigator of the Ancient DNA laboratory of the same institution.
