About this position

A PhD position is now open in the pond fish nutrition group at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Faculty of Fisheries and Protection of Waters, Laboratory of Nutrition.

The doctoral project focuses on carbohydrates in the pond food web and the upcycling of low-opportunity-cost biomass (LOCBs) rich in recalcitrant carbohydrates through pond-based aquaculture biorefineries. The research aims to understand how pond ecosystems can convert difficult-to-digest carbohydrate sources into valuable and nutritious aquatic foods for human consumption, especially within a local EU food-system context.

Key research themes include pond ecosystem functioning, microbiota, enzymes, non-starch polysaccharide-dominated carbohydrate sources, algae, zooplankton, zoobenthos, water quality, and the systemic effects of aquaculture on planetary health boundaries. The project also mentions a life cycle assessment perspective, indicating an interest in sustainability and food-system impacts at ecosystem scale.

This opportunity is especially relevant for students interested in aquaculture, nutrition, environmental science, and biological approaches to sustainable food production. The announcer, Koushik Roy, is an Assistant Professor and deputy head of the laboratory of nutrition at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice.

No deadline, funding package, or formal eligibility criteria are stated in the post. The post also invites European colleagues to recommend strong master's students who may fit the topic.
