University of Glasgow PhD position
PhD position: Host-parasite dynamics in a naturally fragmented landscape
Division of Environmental & Evolutionary Biology, University of Glasgow
Supervisor: Roman Biek
The spatial and evolutionary dynamics of host-parasite systems are
frequently discussed in the context of metapopulation theory. Yet,
the applicability of metapopulation concepts to parasite dynamics in
natural systems has rarely been demonstrated. This project will
investigate the combined population dynamics of wild rodents and
their diverse parasite community in a system of natural islands
situated within Scotland’s largest lake (Loch Lomond). Islands vary
in size and in their degree of geographic isolation, providing an
ideal situation to examine the effects of host population size and
gene flow on parasite prevalence and distribution. The project will
have a significant field component since multiple populations will
need to be sampled by live-trapping several times a year.
How to apply: Applications are invited from students who either hold,
or expect to obtain, a First or Upper Second class Honours degree, a
Masters, or an equivalent degree in a relevant subject. Previous
field experience would be highly advantageous. Please note that this
studentship only covers fees for UK or EU students. The student will
join a new and dynamic research group at the Division of
Environmental & Evolutionary Biology at the Faculty of Biomedical and
Life Science (http://www.gla.ac.uk:443/ibls/staff/staff.php?who=3DPeS~PA).
Please send a copy of your CV, together with a cover letter
describing your interest in and suitability for this project, and the
names and contact details of two academic referees to Dr. Roman Biek
(from whom further details may be obtained): r.biek@bio.gla.ac.uk;
Division of Environmental and Evolutionary Biology, Faculty of
Biomedical and Life Sciences, Graham Kerr Building, University of
Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QQ. Emailed applications are encouraged.
Review of applications will start immediately and will continue until
the position is filled.
