From: Lynn Dicks (BIO) <Lynn.Dicks@uea.ac.uk>

Dear all

Please could you advertise this NERC-funded PhD Studentship to your
students or research assistants interested in conservation, agriculture,
agroecology, ecosystem services, countryside management, insect ecology?
It is a wonderful opportunity to get combined research and agronomy
training, with a strong GIS element and potentially some citizen science.

A poster attached, in case you can put it up, or send it to Masters or
third year students.

It's advertised online here:
https://www.findaphd.com/search/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=80582&LID=432

Application deadline 20 January 2017.

Thanks a lot for your help and best wishes,

Lynn

[Oikos-listan] attachment - 15 PhD positions in 'resilience of lake ecosystems' program

This time with attachment - sorry!

Dear all,

see attached pdf file for the full details of this exciting possibility at the University of Konstanz, Germany.

/Sebastian

The Research Training Group "R3 – Responses to biotic and abiotic changes, Resilience and R

eversi-bility of lake ecosystems" funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and based at the University of Konstanz welcomes applications for up to

15 PhD Positions

for a three-year structured program. The RTG will start on 1 April 2017.

The scientific goal of this RTG is to study the mechanism resulting in the resilience of lake ecosystems to environmental change. Our approach is to study the response of a model system – Lake Constance – with a multitude of different approaches and from different viewpoints, i.e., combining classical and novel methods such as population genomics and metagenomics approaches, metabolic profiling, compound-specific stable-isotope analyses, comparative multi-species experiments, paleo-limnological and resurrection ecology approaches, time-series analyses, and numerical simulation models.

The Department of Biology at the University of Konstanmz, Germany, seeks to fill the

Junior Professorship of Environmental Genomics in Aquatic Systems

from October 2017.

[Oikos-listan] Postdoc in Plant Pathology: can strawberry cope with multiple enemies?

Postdoc in Plant Pathology: can strawberry cope with multiple enemies?

Wild and cultivated strawberries are attacked by several fungal pathogens, and herbivores. Wild plant genotypes may vary in resistance against these enemies. Ideally, however, future cultivated varieties should carry resistance to multiple pathogens and pests simultaneously.

The first aim of this postdoc project is to screen wild Fragaria vesca genotypes for resistance against 1-3 fungal pathogens (including Diplocarpon earlianum). The wild plant genotypes are already known to vary in other important traits, including resistance to insect herbivores. The second aim is to start investigating the genetics behind resistance.

The postdoc will join an interdisciplinary group aiming at elucidating the multifunctional roles of plant resistance for pathogens, insect herbivores, pollinators, and fruit quality.
