PhD Opportunities in Ecology in Luxembourg

Aalborg University is offering a three-year PhD stipend in Predicting Terrestrial Ecosystem Responses to Changing Arctic Catchments . The project is based in the Department of Chemistry and Bioscience and forms part of the interdisciplinary From Catchment to Coast research project. The PhD will examine how climate warming changes terrestrial ecosystem structure and biogeochemical processes, and how those changes affect downstream freshwater and marine environments. The research will follow a nat...

The University of Freiburg is offering a PhD position in ecology in Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The opportunity is suitable for doctoral research in ecology and related areas of biology and environmental science. The available post identifies the University of Freiburg as the host institution, but the supplied listing does not provide further details about the specific ecological research topic, project methods, laboratory or research group....

The University of Vienna is seeking a predoctoral researcher in geoecology to investigate the ecological functioning of wetlands. The doctoral project focuses on greenhouse gas exchange in the reed belt of Lake Neusiedl and the Pürgschachen Moor . The research will make use of the geoecology group’s existing eddy covariance infrastructure , including towers equipped with sensors for carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane. The successful researcher will contribute to field-based environmental r...

PhD project in Arctic landscape change at the University of Gothenburg, led by Jakob Assmann in the Spatial Ecology & Arctic Change research area. The project will investigate how Arctic landscapes are changing by combining drone imagery, satellite imagery, machine learning and artificial intelligence. The research sits at the intersection of remote sensing, data science and Arctic environmental research, offering an opportunity to develop and apply computational approaches to the study of spati...

[Offered through the CENTA3 DLA and funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Funding covers an annual stipend, tuition fees at home-fee level, and a Research Training Support Grant.] This PhD studentship investigates how trees may retain a molecular “memory” of drought and other environmental stresses across time. The project is built around the idea that epigenetic information, especially DNA methylation, can be preserved in tree tissues and potentially reflect past environmen...

The University of the Aegean’s Research Unit is recruiting a researcher for the CircHive Horizon Europe case study on developing a biodiversity strategy for Mytilene and Lesvos Island, Greece. The work combines biodiversity data collection, ecological fieldwork, and geospatial analysis to support biodiversity strategies and natural capital accounting. The selected researcher will collect and process biodiversity and environmental data from study sites on Lesvos, with a strong focus on coastal an...

[Funded through the CENTA3 DLA by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC); funding covers an annual stipend, tuition fees at home-fee level, and a Research Training Support Grant. International students are eligible for up to 30% of the cohort, but funding does not cover additional moving or residing costs in the UK.] This PhD studentship investigates how biodiversity protection can be embedded into battery supply chains, with a particular focus on lithium and cobalt extraction in ecolog...

INRAE Doctoral Contracts are salaried PhD positions hosted by France’s national research institute for agriculture, food and the environment. The institute has around 272 research units across France, giving doctoral researchers access to a wide national research network. These contracts support doctoral research linked to INRAE’s scientific areas, especially agriculture, food, ecology and the environment. The position is structured as a work contract rather than a stipend, so doctoral researche...

The Chair of Nature Conservation and Landscape Ecology at the University of Freiburg is offering a PhD opportunity in ecology focused on independent, student-designed research. The position is open to candidates interested in fundamental or applied questions in pollination ecology, wild pollinator conservation, and plant-insect interactions. The chair welcomes original project ideas rather than a predefined thesis topic. Suggested directions include pollination ecology in forest ecosystems, the ...
