Introduction: The University of Canterbury is offering a prestigious PhD Scholarship in Metacommunity Ecology and Biodiversity Science. This opportunity is based in the Freshwater Ecology Research Group (FERG).
Scholarship Details: This PhD Scholarship in Metacommunity Ecology scholarship covers domestic tuition fees and provides a generous monthly stipend of NZ$28,000 per annum for up to three years (full-time).
Research Focus For the PhD Scholarship in Metacommunity Ecology :
This scholarship offers the flexibility to explore your own research ideas within the realm of spatio-temporal dynamics of metacommunities. Potential research areas include investigating the role of keystone communities, understanding the impact of connectivity on community recovery, and studying the effects of habitat loss versus habitat deterioration on metacommunity dynamics. Additionally, you may explore contexts where stochasticity decouples biodiversity responses from environmental variation.
Application Process: Interested candidates should email Dr. Tadeu Siqueira (tadeu.siqueira@canterbury.ac.nz) with a cover letter summarizing their research experiences, interests, goals (maximum 2 pages), and their CV.
Application Deadline: September 26, 2023 (New Zealand time).
