Stephen Brian Pointing

PhD opportunity at the National University of Singapore with Professor Stephen Brian Pointing in Environmental Microbiology. The project focuses on tropical beach microbiomes and the ecology and resilience of sandy beach microbial communities across Southeast Asia, with emphasis on tourism impact and climate change. Research activities will include regional fieldwork in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand , along with environmental microbiology, microbial ecology, molecular and genomic approaches, data-driven ecological analysis, and ecosystem modelling. This opportunity is well suited to candidates interested in marine microbiology , coastal ecosystems , climate change , and applied environmental science. The work may contribute to future coastal management and conservation strategies in Southeast Asia. Eligibility: applicants should hold a Bachelor’s degree with first class honours or a Master’s degree in a relevant subject. Funding: no funding details were stated in the post. Application: interested candidates should contact Professor Stephen Brian Pointing directly for further details using the provided contact link or email.
