PhD in Structure, Function, and Resilience of Aquatic Ecosystems at University of Guelph University of Guelph in Canada

PhD opportunity at the University of Guelph in aquatic ecosystem ecology, with a focus on the structure, function, and resilience of aquatic ecosystems under rapid global change.

The project uses a combination of theory, data, and conceptual synthesis to study how ecosystems respond to changing environments. Research themes include population and food web dynamics in spatio-temporally variable environments, the interacting effects of multiple axes of global change on fish production, community structure, and ecosystem resilience, the rate of environmental change and adaptive capacity, and ecosystem-based considerations of co-occurring management strategies in the Great Lakes basin.

Supervision is by Carling Bieg, Assistant Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology, College of Biological Science, University of Guelph. The post emphasizes ecology, environmental science, and biological research with strong interest in students whose goals align with aquatic systems, global change, and management-relevant science.

To apply, send an academic CV, unofficial transcripts, and a brief cover letter describing your research experience, interests, and why you want to join the lab. All documents should be in PDF format. The post does not mention a deadline or funding details.
