WildlifeNL project Wageningen University in Netherlands

Wageningen University & Research is advertising a fully funded PhD on moss traits, bryophytes, fire ignitability, peatland, tundra, and vegetation-climate feedbacks . The project asks how moss functional traits influence fire ignition and fire dynamics in high-latitude ecosystems , including boreal peatlands and tundra, where warming, permafrost thaw, and increasing fire frequency are reshaping carbon storage and ecosystem functioning. The PhD is embedded in the Plant Ecology and Nature Conserva...

Wageningen University & Research is recruiting a PhD candidate for a project on green façades , urban biodiversity , ecology , and building insulation . The BIO-SKIN project (Bio-Inspired Outer Surfaces to Kool, Insulate and Nurture) develops bio-based, waste-derived, circular façade systems that integrate plant growth to keep buildings cool, improve insulation, support biodiversity, and contribute to more sustainable urban environments. The PhD research will focus on how plant-soil-insect inter...

Fully funded PhD position in plant–microbe ecology at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW), Netherlands, in the Departments of Terrestrial Ecology and Microbial Ecology, in collaboration with the University of San Francisco de Quito. The project focuses on the biogeography of plant-associated fungi on the Galápagos Islands , with research themes including fungal diversity, plant–fungal interactions, mycology, and ecosystem ecology. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in mi...

Job alert for a postdoc at the University of Groningen (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen), within the Conservation Ecology group led by Christian Smit . The project is part of the PREDWEI consortium and focuses on the spatial dynamics and interactions of terrestrial and avian predators in relation to ground-breeding birds . This is a strong fit for researchers interested in conservation ecology , applied ecology , wildlife ecology, predator-prey interactions, and data-driven ecological analysis. The ...

Reopening of a PhD position at NIOO-KNAW in the Microbial Ecology and Terrestrial Ecology departments for a project on the biogeography of plant-associated fungi on the Galápagos islands . The project asks how fungal diversity, functions, and biogeography vary across plant species , islands , and the mainland , and whether these fungi contribute to plant establishment and resilience. The research will focus on yeasts , arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi , and fungal pathogens associated with the endem...
