Aberdeen, UK: PhD, niche evolution in insects Tisk
Title: Niche Evolution in wild or lab-reared insects (U. of Aberdeen, UK)
I am seeking talented and motivated PhD students to investigate
evolutionary causes and consequences of ecological niche divergence
during adaptive radiations, range shifts, or in response to anthropogenic
habitat modification.
 
The student may choose to conduct fieldwork with wild or pest insect
species in Northeast Scotland, or can apply their ideas in mesocosm
experiments using lab-bred insects such as seed beetles (Callosobruchus
maculates).

*KEY DETAILS*: This project advert is for a competitively-funded
scheme for a limited number of Elphinstone PhD Scholarships
(http://www.abdn.ac.uk/clsm/graduate/elphinstone-phd-scholarships.php).
These scholarships are available to students of any nationality,
and will cover all tuition and fees associated with pursuing a PhD
at the University of Aberdeen. Living expenses are not covered in the
scholarship, however, and thus applicants should be prepared to contribute
approximately GBP 45,000 pounds to cover living expenses for the duration
of their PhD. It is not advised to take on part time work during an
intensive PhD-ship, so ideal candidates are those with sufficient means
to cover their expenses for the duration of their studies.
