PhD opportunity, Bordeaux, France

Biodiversity conservation is nowadays a very important issue for wine production. Soil biodiversity is less known but particularly important because it is associated with many fundamental ecological processes such as organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling. However, little is known about the effects of wine-growing practices on soil biodiversity, as well as on the ecological functions and the ecosystem services it supports. Bordeaux Sciences Agro is now looking for highly motivated student for a PhD position opening this autumn in their lab in Bordeaux, France, to work on these issues in vineyard landscapes. Details are attached.

PhD: Soil biodiversity and functioning in vineyards

PhD Research Fellow in the field of nature-based solutions and biodiversity, NIVA, Norway

The Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) is recruiting a PhD candidate to work on nature-based solutions (NbS) in river catchments under pressure from a range of land-uses and their benefits for primarily biodiversity. NbS are solutions inspired and supported by nature and are increasingly used across landscapes, ecosystems and land-use types. They are considered to have multiple benefits for nature, society and human well-being. The use of NbS is strongly promoted at a European scale, as part of the EU Green Deal and Biodiversity Strategy 2030, so it is a research topic rapidly increasing in relevance.

PhD on coastal protection, Ghent, Belgium

Climate change is causing rising sea levels and increases the impact of extreme storm events. Because coastal dunes have the capacity to grow along with the rising sea, they are an important nature-based solution in coastal protection. Dune development results from close interactions between dune-building plant species and sand dynamics. A more in-depth understanding of the processes controlling spatial dynamics and interactions among ecosystem engineers is crucial to develop dunes as a nature-based solution for coastal protection.

Degree project: Understanding blood cancer in children, IGP, UU

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) reside in the bone marrow and sustain human hematopoiesis. To generate a variety of mature blood cells, HSCs undergo distinct processes including self-renewal, proliferation, and differentiation. Failure in any one of these processes can result in hematopoietic disorders and cancer.
