About this position

PhD opportunity at the University of Pretoria, Faculty of Veterinary Science in African elephant blood oxygen transport.

The lab is seeking a PhD student for a research project on the oxygen-binding function of whole blood from African elephants, with special attention to how chemical immobilisation may affect oxygen transport. The work sits at the intersection of comparative physiology, animal physiology, veterinary science, and conservation medicine.

Research themes include oxygen–haemoglobin dissociation curves, blood oxygenation, physiological responses associated with immobilisation, and broader questions about elephant physiology and animal welfare. The project aims to generate knowledge that can support conservation science and improve understanding of how immobilisation procedures influence large mammal physiology.

Eligibility highlights: an MSc in Physiology (human or animal) or a closely related field; preference for South Africa-based candidates; willingness to undertake the PhD full-time; and a strong interest in physiology, animal research, and conservation.

Application note: the post says the attached advert contains the full project description, requirements, and application details. No deadline or funding information is stated in the LinkedIn text.
