PhD in Multidimensional Analysis of (A)biotic Particles and Immune Responses University Medical Center Utrecht in Netherlands

PhD position at UMC Utrecht: Multidimensional analysis of (a)biotic particles and immune responses The Phagocytes in Health and Inflammation research group at UMC Utrecht is recruiting a PhD candidate to study how non-biological particles interact with the immune system and what determines whether they trigger inflammation. The project focuses on the multidimensional analysis of particle properties, immune recognition, and downstream immune effects, with relevance to inflammatory and immune-medi...

PhD position: Trait-based drivers of global plant distributions at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands. This PhD project sits in spatial ecology , species distributions , plant functional traits , and global plant biodiversity . The research asks how functional traits shape broad patterns of plant diversity and plant responses to environmental change across multiple levels of biological organisation, from major plant strategies (tree, epiphyte, shrub) to inter-specific and intra-...

Wageningen University & Research is advertising a fully funded PhD on moss traits, bryophytes, fire ignitability, peatland, tundra, and vegetation-climate feedbacks . The project asks how moss functional traits influence fire ignition and fire dynamics in high-latitude ecosystems , including boreal peatlands and tundra, where warming, permafrost thaw, and increasing fire frequency are reshaping carbon storage and ecosystem functioning. The PhD is embedded in the Plant Ecology and Nature Conserva...
