MSc and PhD Graduate Student Positions in Freshwater Science, Hydropower, and Sustainable Water Management University of British Columbia in Canada

PhD opportunity in ecology and biogeochemistry focused on the littoral zones of eastern Québec lakes . The project is based at the Université du Québec à Rimouski with Morgan Botrel , Professeure en biogéochimie aquatique. The successful candidate will lead three field seasons in lakes across Bas-Saint-Laurent, Gaspésie, and Anticosti , with a research theme centered on surveying submerged aquatic vegetation . The candidate will also have room to develop their own research questions within the b...

PhD position in Functional Freshwater Ecology at McGill University (Department of Biology, Canada). The project investigates how complex life cycles shape freshwater biodiversity, with a focus on how life-history strategies of freshwater insects influence community assembly and ecosystem responses across local habitats, watersheds, and continental gradients. The research sits at the intersection of biology , environmental science , freshwater ecology , functional ecology , community ecology , bi...

The position is linked to the Helmholtz School for Marine Data Science (MarDATA) and is carried out in close collaboration between GEOMAR’s Paleo-Oceanography groups and the Data Science group at Kiel University. This PhD opportunity sits ...

PhD opportunity in aquatic ecology , limnology , and biogeochemistry at Université du Québec à Rimouski (UQAR) , Canada. Dr. Morgan Botrel is recruiting a PhD student for a project on the ecology and biogeochemistry of lake littoral zones in eastern Québec, with a particular focus on submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) and charophytes . The selected student will lead three field seasons in lakes across the Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie regions, with a possible additional season on Anticosti Isla...

PhD opportunity in Climate Change Ecology and Bioacoustics at Rutgers University This opening is for a PhD student to join a field-based and quantitative project focused on how avian communities respond to extreme weather events, with effects moderated by species traits and habitat structure. The work uses data from sites in central New Jersey and across the eastern United States. The project combines ecology , bioacoustics , AI , point-count surveys, and bird identification, with potential invo...
