  Modelling temporal changes in biodiversity as a function of land-use change in Indonesia
University of Birmingham NERC Doctoral Training Centre Studentships with CENTA
  Dr T Matthews, Dr J P Sadler, Dr T Pugh, Dr NE Barrand
Application Deadline: 21 January 2019
The reported impacts of forest loss and land-use change are almost universally negative, and habitat loss more generally is argued to be the biggest driver of the current extinction crisis (Sala et al., 2000; Haddad et al., 2015).

  Navigating fragmented tropical landscapes; understanding how forest fragmentation affects bird behaviour
University of Stirling School of Biological & Environmental Sciences
  Dr D Dent, Dr S G Willis
Application Deadline: 4 January 2019
Over the last century much of the tropical forest biome has been converted from continuous tracts of undisturbed forest to complex human-modified landscapes composed of degraded primary forest fragments, secondary forest, pasture and agricultural land [1,2].

  Constraining the carbon balance of intact tropical forest landscapes
University of Leeds School of Geography
  Dr T Baker, Dr D Galbraith, Prof O Phillips
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Intact tropical forests play a key role in determining the rate of climate change, as they can act as either a significant sink, or potentially source, of carbon.

  PhD in Applied Ecology - Developing data-driven modelling in Applied Ecology
University of Sheffield Department of Animal and Plant Sciences
  Prof R Freckleton
Applications accepted all year round
We live in a changing world and a challenge for ecologists is to forecast how such changes will impact on natural populations. We tackle problems such as forest management, weed invasions and predicting the impacts of land management on populations of plants, insects and birds.
