Biologist: English-language proofing, statistical analysis, R coding, and general biological expertise

Profile Summary

PhD in Biological Sciences. I am currently employed as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the King's College London School of Basic & Medical Biosciences. I also hold a Courtesy Postdoctoral Associate position in Florida International University's Department of Biological Sciences. 1) English language proofing: I am a native English speaker. I have lived, worked, and studied in both the United Kingdom and the United States, and thus write equally well in British and American English. I have published peer-reviewed biological journal articles in both forms of English. Please see the "Publications" section of my profile for examples of my written work. 2) Statistical analysis and R coding: I am highly proficient at coding in the R programming language, including statistical analysis, modelling, and generating publication-quality figures (e.g. plots, maps, etc.). 3) General biological expertise: My biological expertise lie predominantly in genetics, evolutionary biology, ecology, conservation biology, invasion biology, and associated fields. However, I am currently performing biomedical research in my Postdoctoral position at King's College London. My knowledge thus spans a broadly across the biological sciences. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any queries or projects,
