Subject: PhD–Plant phenology & arctic climate change (University of Guelph
CANADA)
Full funding support is available for four years for a PhD position in the lab
of Dr. Andrew MacDougall - University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada. I
seek a highly-motivated PhD candidate with a theoretical or empirical
background at the MSc or undergraduate level, ideally with training in plant
ecology or plant evolution. The research will explore long-term responses in
plant performance (leafing, flowering, senescence) to climate change in the
Arctic mountains of northern Scandinavia (Abisko). The work will be based off a
globally unprecedented century-long data set initiated in 1917, tracking
seasonal and annual variations in the timing and extent of plant performance
for 140+ vascular plant species. The student is expected to generate their own
research projects, based on these data and their own interests. The projects
can involve field work and/or big data analysis, with ecological and/or
evolutionary emphases. The student will be based out of the Department of
Integrative Biology, University of Guelph. The project is coordinated from the
Abisko Scientific Research Station (Abisko, Sweden), in collaboration with Umeå
University, Queens College -Belfast, and Imperial College – London. The student
is encouraged to collaborate with researchers at one or more of these
institutions, depending on the research emphases they chose to follow. Please
e-mail a brief statement of research interest, your CV, an unofficial
transcript, and the names of two academic referees to
asm@xxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:asm@xxxxxxxxxxx>. The position starts fall 2019,
although summer 2019 is negotiable.
