About this position

PhD opportunity at Griffith University, Brisbane with Marcus Michelangeli, Lecturer and leader of the Wildlife Behaviour & Ecotoxicology group.

This opening is for domestic students starting in 2027 and is supported by an RTP scholarship. The research area sits at the intersection of ecotoxicology, wildlife behaviour, freshwater ecology, physiology, and population ecology.

The advertised project investigates whether wastewater treatment plants act as ecological traps for native freshwater fish: attracting them with nutrient-rich outfalls while reducing survival and reproduction through contaminant exposure. The project includes fieldwork, behavioural experiments, and lab-based fitness trials.

Marcus also welcomes discussion of related PhD project ideas in the broader space of pollution and environmental change shaping wildlife behaviour, especially in freshwater systems. His wider research interests include emerging chemical contaminants, pharmaceutical pollutants, animal tracking, AI, and real-world ecological applications.

Eligibility highlights: domestic applicants only; research interest in wildlife, pollution, freshwater systems, or behavioural ecology; no additional formal requirements are stated in the post.

Application window: Round 1 domestic applications close on 1 September 2026, for commencement in February or April 2027.
