Below
you can find the information for two PhD positions in The Netherlands
on: “INTEGRATING SHORT-TERM CAUSES AND LONG-TERM
CONSEQUENCES OF ADAPTATIONS TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE”. We would be
grateful if you could circulate this amongst possible candidates.
The
aim of this project is to achieve a sound understanding of the
structure and development of a migratory shorebird’s (Red
Knot) exploration and foraging strategies, and the implications of
these strategies for the adaptive capacity of individuals and
populations to deal with rapid environmental change. The project will
elaborate on, and empirically test, a recently developed
unifying theoretical framework for understanding the adaptive capacity
of organisms. The two PhD candidates will closely collaborate. One
position is at the NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea research and
has an empirical/experimental focus. The other
is at the University of Groningen and has a theoretical focus.
