Fully Funded Postdoc and PhD Positions in Aquatic Ecosystems, Fatty Acids, and Trophic Ecology Universität für Weiterbildung Krems in Austria

Postdoc opportunity at Danube University Krems in the Research Lab for Aquatic Ecosystems and Health, Austria. The project focuses on aquatic food web ecology and the movement of fatty acids through pond food webs, from algae to zooplankton to fish. The work combines field sampling in northern Austria with controlled feeding experiments and advanced analytical approaches such as GC-C/P-IRMS , MALDI , and EA-IRMS for compound-specific stable isotope analysis. This is a fully funded postdoctoral p...

Postdoc opportunity in plant cell biology and vacuolar remodeling for research on environmental stress responses in plants. The project, called VITAL , investigates the molecular mechanisms safeguarding the plant vacuole in response to stress, with a particular focus on soil alkalinization . The position is associated with the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) ASTRA Award and is hosted at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU) . The postdoc is for 2 years and is expected ...

PhD opportunity at Danube University Krems in the Research Lab for Aquatic Ecosystems and Health , focused on aquatic food web ecology , fatty acids , and compound-specific stable isotope analysis . The project will trace how fatty acids move through pond food webs, from algae to zooplankton to fish , using advanced isotope tracing tools including GC-C/P-IRMS , MALDI , and EA-IRMS . The work combines field work in northern Austria with controlled feeding experiments , making it a strong fit for ...

Funded PhD opportunities are available with The University of Edinburgh in microbial carbon cycling in soils . The research focuses on understanding the mechanisms that shape the balance of carbon in soils across different ecosystems, with an emphasis on microbial processes, fungal-bacterial interactions, and soil carbon dynamics. The work is interdisciplinary and may involve omics , stable isotope tools , organic chemistry , and modelling approaches . A forthcoming E5 DTP-funded project with Fo...

PhD opportunity in aquatic food-web ecology at Danube University Krems (Universität für Weiterbildung Krems) in Krems, Austria . This fully funded 3-year PhD is part of the FRESH project and focuses on freshwater ecology , especially trophic interactions in pond food webs. The successful candidate will study how algae , zooplankton , and fish respond to environmental and dietary changes. The opportunity is relevant to students interested in biology , environmental science , limnology , and ecosy...
