Subject: Doctoral student position, deadline 8.11.2016
Dear Juergen, Martin, Manuel
If you know a student interested in PhD project related to utilization of freshwater mussels in water treatment of aquaculture, please forward this message to him/her.
The Department of Biological and Environmental Science, University of Jyväskylä, currently seeks to recruit 4 doctoral students into its doctoral programme, starting earliest 1 January 2017. The deadline for applications is November 8, 2016, system closing at 23:59 Finnish time.
This (a bit complicated) procedure is such that
1) The candidate projects have been selected first, and now candidate students should send their applications online http://www.saimanet.com/certiahome/open_job_view.html?did=5600&jc=12&id=00002712&lang=fi at latest on 8th of November, 2016, so that they need to assign their application to a particular project. The projects and more information can be found here https://www.jyu.fi/bioenv/en/recruiting/doctoral-student-positions-2017
2) Then each project (=supervisor) will select one best candidate for their own project based on the applications. These top candidates are asked to write a 2-page long research plan on the thesis topic and invited to an interview.
So, among the candidate projects, there is “6. The use of biological traps for water treatment in recirculating aquaculture systems “ which is connected to freshwater mussels so that the aim is to test the use of mussels and other filter feeders in water treatment in recirculating aquaculture systems. I will not a supervisor in this PhD project, but I will be closely involved - the main supervisor will be Dr. Juhani Pirhonen juhani.pirhonen@jyu.fi. However, in addition to Juhani Pirhonen, I can also provide information about the project and the application, sure.
All the best,
Jouni
