Fully funded international PhD position in Biological Sciences at Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn (Naples, Italy) The evolution of range shifts: understanding and predicting species' responses to changing environments Application deadline: June 21st 2024 12.00 CET A PhD studentship (3 years) is available from October 2024 under the supervision of Francesca Raffini, Fabio Crocetta, and Roger Butlin in the Department of Biology and Evolution of Marine Organisms, Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn (Naples, Italy). Why do some populations fail to survive changing environmental challenges (e.g., extinctions) while others thrive and even spread outside their historical range (e.g., biological invasions)? Can we predict whether a population facing a new environment will contract, move, or expand? If you are passionate about climate change, biodiversity, evolution, genomics, and conservation, join us as a PhD student at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn to explore the evolutionary processes underlying range shifts in a cool marine snail. We're offering a fully funded position in the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn & Open University (SZN-OU) PhD program. You will be part of a broad international and transdisciplinary team of researchers with excellent training and contributing opportunities.
