We are seeking two PhD students to work on APPLIED ECOLOGY EMBEDDED IN ECOLOGICAL THEORY.
 
The first project is centered on how the browsing of trees by large herbivores affects herbivorous insects and their natural enemies. The second project allows you to apply general theory on interaction webs to either grazing-related or other types of biotic interactions. Both projects will allow the successful applicant to take active part in developing the project and designing the experiments.
 
Note that quite conveniently, you can apply for either one of the positions or for both at the same time.
 
For the no-frills version with more information, please look at http://www.slu.se/en/education/postgraduate-studies/new-phd-student/read-more/?Uid=1026 .
For the same ad with colour pictures and more, please look at http://www.helsinki.fi/foodwebs/positions.htm .  
 
Please spread the word through whatever channels you may think of!
 
Many thanks,
Tomas Roslin, Christer Björkman and Maartje Klapwijk
