About this position

A fully funded PhD studentship is available at Royal Holloway, University of London, as part of the NERC TREES Doctoral Landscape Award. The project, supervised by Rüdiger Riesch and Pavel Kratina, focuses on the trophic interactions between invasive mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki), their prey, competitors, and predators. The research will employ novel ecoacoustic approaches to study ecological dynamics and impacts of invasive species.

The studentship is open for the 2026 intake and is suitable for candidates with a background in biology, ecology, environmental science, or related fields. Funding covers tuition and stipend, with details available on the TREES DLA website. Interested applicants should contact the supervisors and follow the Route 1 application process.

The opportunity is ideal for those interested in ecological fieldwork, invasive species management, and advanced research in environmental biology.
