Dr. Rui Oliveira (born 22.02.1966), Ph.D. 1996 (University of Lisbon), habilitation 2004 (University of Algarve) Assistant Professor in Biological Sciences 1996 (ISPA, Lisboa), Associate Professor in Biological Sciences 2001 (ISPA, Lisboa), Full Professor in Psychobiology 2007 (ISPA, Lisbon), Principal Investigator at the Gulbenkian Science Institute 2012 (IGC, Oeiras) and Adjunct Faculty of the Champalimaud Neuroscience Program 2007 (CNP, Lisboa). Key qualifications in the field of Animal Behaviour and Cognition, Neuroendocrinology and Genomics. During the last years he has been involved in research within the field of behavioural neuroendocrinology and behavioural genomics. Main fields of interests are (1) the neuroendocrinology and genomics of social behaviour, (2) the evolution and mechanisms underlying behavioural plasticity (including alternative mating tactics), and (3) comparative social cognition. He leads a research group of 6 post-docs, 3 Ph.D. students, 1 lab technician and variable numbers of M.Sc. and undergraduate students. He has experience in teaching (Neuroscience and Behaviour courses to Psychology undergraduate and Master students at ISPA and advanced Neuroscience and Behaviour topics for the Gulbenkian and Champalimaud Ph.D. Programmes), supervising (17 completed and 3 ongoing PhD thesis; 28 completed and 1 ongoing MSc thesis; 19 completed undergraduate honours thesis) and mentoring (11 completed and 6 ongoing Post-Doc fellowships), refereeing for scientific journals and evaluation of scientific research (e.g. member of the European Research Council panel for Life Sciences 8, member of the Scientific Council of FCT for the Natural Sciences, Coordinator of the FCT Biological Sciences Panel for PhD fellowships, and ad-hoc reviewer for HHMI, NSF and NIH Programs). He has also been the coordinator of several research grants at the national level [(16 completed grants (15 FCT, 1 BIAL) and 4 ongoing (1 as PI and 3 as co-PI)] and participated in international research networks (FP7 in Europe and CNPq in Brazil). He has served as President of the Portuguese Ethological Society (SPE) and European Secretary of the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour (ASAB, 2000-2004), and he is currently Past-President of the Society for Social Neuroscience (S4SN, 2016-2021), and member of the Advisory Committee of the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology (SBN, 2017-2021). He was the founder Chief-Editor of the journal Acta Ethologica (Springer-Verlag), and Associate Editor of the journals Hormones and Behavior, and Animal Behaviour (Elsevier), and he is currently Associate Editor of Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, and member of the Editorial Board of Scientific Reports (Springer-Nature) and Social Neuroscience (Wiley). He has been the Chair of the Organizing Committee of several international conferences held in Portugal (ASAB Summer Meeting 1999, SBN Annual Meeting 2004, International Ethological Conference 2017, and the International Conference of Neuroethology 2020), and the Curator of a major Science Exhibition (“Brain: Wider than the Sky”, Gulbenkian Foundation, 2019, 85.000 visitors). He is Rector of ISPA (2010-2020), where he is also the Director of the Graduate Program in Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience and of the PhD Program in Behavioural Biology. He has published over 200 research papers in international peer-reviewed journals, and edited 2 books.
