Jacqueline Sztepanacz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto. She holds a Master's degree from the University of Ottawa and a PhD from the University of Queensland. Her research focuses on the study of genetic variation and genomic architecture and how these factors influence evolutionary processes. Dr. Sztepanacz investigates the role of selection in producing phenotypic diversity and works to understand the mechanisms that impose evolutionary limits. Her lab employs Drosophila as a model organism and utilizes classic quantitative genetics methods, artificial selection experiments, and genome-wide association studies to explore these questions. Through simulations and the development of new statistical methods, she examines the interactions that shape high-dimensional traits under diverse selection regimes. Dr. Sztepanacz is currently accepting prospective MSc and PhD students, encouraging interested applicants to submit their CV, unofficial transcripts, and a cover letter detailing their research interests and academic background.
