About this position

Interested in whether restored landscapes mitigate disease outbreaks? Then come and do a fully-funded PhD with us!

You'll be working with scientists at Glasgow and Stirling on restored woodlands and wetlands. We know that restoring habitats improves biodiversity, but does this also increase resilience to disease? Or is the climate-driven spread of mosquitoes bringing diseases to new places? Let's find out.
