Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert King is a behavioral scientist and senior lecturer at University College Cork with over a decade of academic experience studying human sexual behavior, life history theory, and fertility-related functions. He completed a PhD under Jay Belsky focused on fertility aspects of female orgasm and is authoring a forthcoming book, Naturally Selective, with Taylor & Francis. As co-director of UCC’s MA in Applied Psychology (Mental Health) he combines teaching across evolution, genetics, research methods and individual differences with active research and peer review for top journals in the field. He also translates research for broader audiences through Psychology Today and Quillette and has consulted widely for media and public talks. Unusually for an academic in this area, he balances rigorous evolutionary theory with public-facing writing while maintaining an aversion to Twitter, preferring direct contact and long-form engagement.
