Fully funded PhD position in Evolutionary Ecology available at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway. Deadline for applications: January 27th 2025 https://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/271754/phd-candidate-in-evolutionary-ecology The PhD position is associated with a major research project funded by the European Research Council and NTNU, with an overall aim of providing new understanding of spatial and seasonal population and evolutionary dynamics in nature. Specifically, the primary focus of the PhD will be to quantify links between different types of animal movements, including dispersal (and resulting immigration to new populations) and reversible seasonal migration. Understanding how these different types of movement co-occur and interact will provide new capability to predict how spatial population dynamics will respond to dramatic changes in seasonal climates and environments. The empirical objectives will be achieved by applying advanced statistical models to multi-year field data collected in a partially-migratory meta-population of European shags in Scotland. There will also be opportunities to contribute to fieldwork, quantitative genetic analyses and/or theoretical modelling, depending on the interests of the successful applicant. Full training in quantitative, analytical and modelling skills will be provided. The PhD position provides an exciting opportunity to gain broad experience and expertise working at the interface of evolutionary ecology, population ecology, and movement ecology. It will provide broad training in research skills, and will suit a candidate who is motivated to undertake high-level research in evolutionary ecology. The goal is a completed doctoral education to obtain a doctoral degree. The four-year position includes research time, course components, and one year of embedded teaching and other professional duties. The position will be hosted within a dynamic international research group based at NTNU, with strong collaborative links to University of Aberdeen and UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology in Scotland, UK. There will be opportunities for international mobility among the collaborating groups, and for conference and workshop participation.
