Research Degree Opportunity: Reptile Macroecology & Biodiversity (PhD/Master by Research) University of Melbourne in Australia

Master 2 internship offer for 2027 on aquatic biodiversity and the functioning of wetlands . The post announces a Stage M2 (Master 2 internship) related to wetland ecosystems, biodiversity, and ecological functioning. This is a student opportunity rather than a PhD or postdoctoral opening. The announcer shown is Télesphore Sime-Ngando , a Directeur de Recherche Classe Exceptionnelle at CNRS . The post excerpt does not provide the host university, location, funding, deadline, or detailed eligibil...

PhD opportunity at The University of Western Australia in the School of Biological Sciences with Dr Renee Firman. This funded PhD project investigates microplastic toxicity and its transgenerational implications , with a strong focus on how plastic pollution and associated chemical additives affect animal reproduction, development, and fitness across generations. The project sits at the intersection of ecology , ecotoxicology , evolution , behavioural biology , and zoology , and there is scope f...

The Ecology research group in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Basel in Switzerland is inviting applications for a PhD position in global change ecology . This doctoral project is part of the ERC-funded project GloNoMo (“Global status, trends, drivers and impacts of non-native plant species in mountain ecosystems”) and is carried out in collaboration with the Global Observation Research Initiative in Alpine Environments (GLORIA) and the Mountain Invasion Research Net...

Postdoctoral position at Universitat de Barcelona in metacommunity modelling applied to aquatic biomonitoring in temporary rivers . The project, DRY-Guadalmed, is funded by the Spanish research agency and focuses on improving ecological status assessment during the dry phase of Mediterranean rivers, including disconnected pools and dry riverbeds. The postdoc will work on implementing the metacommunity framework into bioassessment using existing empirical data from water agencies. The broader pro...

PhD opportunity at the University of Technology Sydney in Interactions of Plant Diversity and Climate on Ecosystem Phenology and Resilience . This project sits at the intersection of plant biology , environmental science , ecology , geography , remote sensing , and climate change . It will investigate how climate and plant diversity jointly shape vegetation phenology—the timing of plant life cycle events—and how these changes affect ecosystem resilience across Australia. The research will combin...
