PhD position in the Restoration of Soil Microbial and Invertebrate Biodiversity in Urban Greenspaces
Exposure to soil biodiversity in urban greenspaces can promote human and wildlife health by impacting their microbiomes. However, the development of soil biodiversity following aboveground restoration is poorly understood, as are the pathways through which people are exposed to this biodiversity. Read more
The costs and consequences of antimicrobial resistance in microbial communities
Applicants are invited for a fully funded PhD position in the group of Dr Andrew Letten at the University of Queensland to study resource competition and antibiotic resistance in microbial communities. Read more
The impact of Forestry on Golden Eagles in Scotland
Golden Eagles in Scotland have largely recovered from historically low levels over the past two centuries but their distribution is still constrained by persecution and habitat loss across parts of their former range. Read more
