PhD in Sustainable Grazing in the Presence of Wolves University of Groningen in Netherlands

Radboud University in the Netherlands is offering a PhD position in movement ecology within the Department of Ecology and the Radboud Institute for Biological and Environmental Sciences. The project investigates how climate-driven changes in freshwater availability affect the year-round movements of greater white-fronted geese. The research will combine long-term GPS tracking data from more than 200 geese, remotely sensed environmental datasets and statistical modelling. Key topics include snow ...
