Biography

Jason Kennington received his PhD in population genetics from the University of Western Australia in 1997. He held postdoctoral positions at University College London and La Trobe University before returning to UWA as a postdoctoral fellow in 2003. He became a lecturer in the School of Animal Biology in 2006. His research primarily focuses on the genetics of adaptation and the genetic threats posed to extinction in small populations. His work delves into the genetic basis of phenotypic variation in Drosophila and broader topics in population genetics affecting marine species, particularly the consequences of small population sizes. He teaches several courses including Conservation Genetics, Field Studies in Zoology, and Evolutionary Processes, and he actively participates in research and academic contributions in his field.
