PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Physiology in Austria

This fully funded PhD project investigates how human impacts affect the growth of juvenile fishes during their first summer in dynamic, wave-swept sandy beach environments. The research will combine laboratory trials at Brixham Laboratory with extensive field sampling on beaches in Devon and Cornwall. The project will bring together biochemical, physiological and geochemical techniques to examine how warmer temperatures and high levels of beach visitation influence fish growth and the functionin...
