Kangaroo Management and Biodiversity Conservation Australian National University (ANU) in Australia

Murdoch University is recruiting a PhD candidate for an interdisciplinary project on a novel plant-derived lure for invasive cat management. The research sits at the intersection of analytical chemistry , natural products chemistry , phytochemistry , animal behavioural science , and field ecology , with a strong conservation focus. The project aims to investigate, test, and improve a cat-specific lure made from natural plant compounds to enhance detection and monitoring of feral cats ( Felis cat...

PhD opportunity at the University of Melbourne in River Blackfish ecology and conservation breeding . This project will combine field ecology and hatchery experimentation to better understand River Blackfish reproduction and to improve conservation breeding and stocking approaches for a declining native freshwater species. The project is being developed in partnership with the Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research (Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action) and the Victori...

PhD opportunity at the University of Queensland in artificial intelligence, biodiversity conservation, language barriers, evidence synthesis, and multilingual scientific communication . The project asks whether AI has reduced language barriers in conservation science across three pathways: generating evidence, synthesising evidence, and applying evidence in practice. The research is based in the School of the Environment and linked to the translatE project and the broader Kaizen Conservation Gro...

An opportunity is being shared for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Adelaide University , based at the Waite Campus in Urrbrae, South Australia, Australia . The role sits within the Fertiliser Technology Research Centre and focuses on developing the next generation of fertiliser technologies. The project is highly interdisciplinary and sits at the intersection of microbiology , plant–microbe interactions , plant nutrition , soil science , and sustainable agriculture . It is a major collaborativ...

PhD opportunity in fire ecology , landscape ecology , remote sensing , hydrology , and conservation science focused on understanding how changing moisture conditions influence the persistence of fire refugia in the Northern Jarrah Forest of south-west Western Australia . The project will examine how spatial and temporal patterns of soil and vegetation moisture affect the vulnerability of mesic habitats to fire under a drying climate, with a particular emphasis on fire-sensitive refugia and habit...
