This is a PhD-level opening rather than a postdoctoral or master's call. The post does not provide detailed eligibility criteria, but the topics suggest a fit...

Nottingham Trent University is recruiting two fixed-term researchers for the Eco-SEv project in ecosystem acoustics , a government-funded initiative focused on next-generation biodiversity monitoring technologies. The roles are based in the School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences at Nottingham Trent University and involve work on acoustic monitoring, biodiversity assessment, and ecosystem health across agricultural, forestry, conservation, and natural environments. The project uses au...

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 ...
