Application deadline: 1st APRIL 2018 We invite applications for a 3-year DFG (German Research Foundation) funded PhD position (65% TVL E13) at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany. We are looking for a highly motivated student to study the genomic basis of honeybee foraging behaviour. Honeybees exhibit sophisticated communication and decision-making processes. Their behaviour […]
Fully funded PhD opportunity in pollinator ecology at the University of Oxford, UK – UK or EU nationals only Global declines of both wild and managed insect pollinators threaten ecosystem function and human food security. Pollinator declines have been specifically linked to declines in the abundance and diversity of floral resources, the use of agrochemicals, […]
To ensure sustainable pollination services to crops, bees and other pollinators, need both forage and a place to live. There is a substantial body of research on how to enhance food resources for bees on farms, but the importance of nesting resources is poorly studied. This highly novel PhD provides an opportunity to work with […]
