Examensarbete eller forskningspraktik om molnskogar i Ecuador

Botaniska data från olika livsformer och taxonomiska grupper insamlades vid ett flertal lokaler på Ecuadors kust under perioden 1995-1998. Genom samarbete med institutioner och studenter i Quito och Quevedo är målsättningen att nu följa upp dessa undersökningar och se förändringar i floran under de senaste 25 åren. De förväntade förändringarna kan vara knutna till skogens egen dynamik (som för tropisk skog fortfarande är mycket dåligt känd) och till klimatförändringar. Projektet omfattar också en stor grad av botanisk utforskning i och med att floran fortfarande är dåligt känd och det finns även stort utrymme för individuellt anpassade projekt, i samarbete med studenter från Ecuador, beroende på eget intresse.

The project will be carried out within AddLife, which is a VINNOVA Competence Centre that gathers more than 20 partners in academia, industry and the public sector to support competence development in additive manufacturing for the life sciences. Candidates for this position should have a Master’s degree (MSc) in Molecular Biotechnology Engineering, or an equivalent degree.

PhD Research Fellow in Coastal Ecology, Norway

Are the invasive Pacific oysters a resource or a nuisance? A bit of both? Can we find out where they come from and predict where they are going? Will they decimate native bivalves, or can they happily co-exist? Can they adapt to brackish waters, colder waters, and climate change, and thereby spread even further? Can we subject them to commercial harvesting to keep the population growth in check? If these or other relevant questions tickle your scientific fancy, the University of Agder (UiA) invites applications for a three-year, full-time, fixed-term appointment as PhD Research Fellow in coastal zone ecology.

PhD in coastal ecology, UiA

Department: Department of Natural Sciences, University of Agder

PhD within the EU network "Future Arctic", Vienna

Given the strong urgency of tackling and managing the climate challenge and the particularly important role herein of (sub)Arctic ecosystems, a rapid assessment of the ecosystem and ambient processes in this natural laboratory is essential. In this PhD on "Microbiome physiology and microbial interactions" you will quantify how physiological responses of microbial taxa to warming alter C cycling in soil. For this, iChip (isolation chip) technology will be used to incubate microbial taxa in their natural environment. Get more details from the pdf!
