Josephine M. Pemberton FRS [3] is a British evolutionary biologist. She is Chair of Natural History at the University of Edinburgh, [5] where she conducts research in parentage analysis, pedigree reconstruction, inbreeding depression, parasite resistance, and quantitative trait locus (QTL) detection in natural populations. [6] She has worked primarily on long-term studies of soay sheep [7] [8] on St Kilda, and red deer on the island of Rùm. [9] [10] [11] [12]
Pemberton was educated at the University of Oxford (where she read Zoology [1]) and the University of Reading where she was awarded a PhD in 1983 for research on the population genetics of fallow deer [13] supervised by Robert H. Smith. [4]
After her PhD, she was a postdoctoral researcher at University College London and the University of Cambridge. [6] This was followed by appointments as a BBSRC Advanced Fellow in Cambridge and Edinburgh, before being appointed a Lecturer in 1994 at the University of Edinburgh, [6] where she has worked ever since. Her research has been funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). [6]
Pemberton was awarded the Molecular Ecology Prize in 2011 [1] and EMBO Membership in 2014. [2] She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2017. [3]
She was awarded the Darwin-Wallace Medal in 2018. [14] and was named Chair of Natural History in 2020.
