Career

Reid was educated at the University of Cambridge studying Natural Sciences, she then did a PhD in behavioural ecology at the University of Glasgow. She did a Killam Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of British Columbia and then a Junior Research Fellowship at Jesus College, Cambridge. In 2006 she moved to the University of Aberdeen as a Royal Society University Research Fellow and was made Professor of Population & Evolutionary Ecology in 2014. In 2019 she was made International Chair Professor at NTNU.

Reid works at the interface of evolutionary and population ecology, in particular of birds. Her research has included the evolutionary implications of mating behaviours, the impacts of dispersal on population viability, and the role of extreme climatic events in driving eco-evolutionary dynamics.

To support this work she was awarded a prestigious European Research Council Starting Grant (2013-2018) and an Advanced Grant (2024-2029).
