University of Agder (UiA), Norway is recruiting a PhD student in evolutionary ecology / terrestrial ecology to study how crop pests evolve under sustained biological control. The project combines field sampling in Brazil , laboratory experiments, and quantitative genetics to investigate how decades of contrasting biocontrol histories have shaped resistance and other life-history traits. This is a three-year salaried PhD position with a gross annual salary of NOK 550,800 . The role includes exten...

PhD Research Fellow in Population Genomics at the Natural History Museum, University of Oslo , Norway. This 4-year PhD fellowship is centered on the genomics of North Atlantic killer whales (Orcinus orca) and aims to reconstruct how populations colonised high latitudes and responded to past climatic warming during the Pleistocene–Holocene transition . The project combines an existing dataset of around 200 contemporary genomes with a new time series of ancient killer whale genomes generated withi...

Questions
Do I need to contact a supervisor before applying for a PhD position?
In many European and Asian universities yes; in some US programs applications are centralized but supervisor contact still helps.
Is GRE required for master’s or PhD applications abroad?
It depends on the country and university — many programs have made GRE optional, especially outside the US.
Do funded PhD positions usually cover tuition and living expenses?
Yes. Most funded PhD roles include tuition coverage plus a monthly stipend, but details vary by country and lab.
Are publications required to apply for PhD or postdoc positions?
Not always required for PhD, but strongly recommended. For postdoc roles, publications are usually expected.
Will I need to pay a tuition deposit for master’s admission?
In many countries yes — especially for taught master’s programs — but funded PhD positions typically do not require deposits.
