Topic: PhD opportunity on aquatic paleoecology. Full-time IRTA-funded fellowship
I will soon open a PhD position (4-year contract) on aquatic paleoecology combining modern and fossil assemblages (diatoms and foraminifera), ancient DNA, and open databases (i.e, Neotoma database) to understand ecological changes across the aquatic continuum, from freshwater to coastal ecosystems. The candidate will join the Marine and Continental Waters Program of the Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology (IRTA), located in the beautiful and scenic Ebro Delta (Spain), and under the supervision of Xavier Benito (https://xbenitogranell.github.io/).
Foreseen starting date: September/ October 2025
