Fish in a biogeochemical barrel: taking aim at the evolutionary consequences of nutrient\u00a0colimitation in freshwater. We seek an ecology, biology or chemistry graduate with an\u00a0interest in evolution, for an exciting, interdisciplinary, collaborative PhD to investigate how\u00a0fish evolution is affected by the chemistry of the water in which they live and the food they\u00a0eat. The successful candidate will carry out fieldwork in the Outer Hebrides and fish\u00a0husbandry in Nottingham. They will learn advanced chemical\/stable isotope techniques to\u00a0quantify and model the elemental composition of fish, their diet and environment, and use
\nimage analysis to quantify variation in fish morphology. Additional opportunities in\u00a0bioinformatic analysis of genomic datasets are possible depending on the candidates own\u00a0interests. The student will receive training in advanced statistical methods, and in\u00a0evolutionary biology, and practical training in quantification of morphological phenotypes,\u00a0as well as in advanced chemical analysis. The successful candidate will be based in\u00a0Nottingham, but will make supervisory visits to Lancaster.<\/p>\n

Applicants should have an interest in evolutionary biology and\/or ecology and a STRONG\u00a0background in chemistry (A level at least). Applicants should hold a minimum of a UK\u00a0Honours degree at 2.1 or equivalent in a STEM subject (science, technology,\u00a0engineerings, maths). Candidates with additional (e.g. Masters) qualifications will be\u00a0looked on favourably.<\/p>\n
