He has been a Darwin Fellow at the University of Massachusetts and a Kirschstein NRSA Research Fellow with the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Current research projects in Lahti's lab include the effects of relaxed natural selection; the predictability of trait evolution; the genetic and cultural divergence of vocal signals; and the correlated cultural evolution of social organization, morality, and religion.
