The University of Groningen, in partnership with Macquarie University, offers a PhD scholarship in island biogeography and evolutionary biology of plants. This project focuses on speciation, extinction rates, and trait evolution on islands, investigating the relationship between island environments and evolutionary dynamics. The successful candidate will analyze species traits, speciation rates, and evolutionary patterns using statistical and phylogenetic methods. Applicants should have a strong background in ecology or evolutionary biology, with experience in statistical analysis (particularly in R). This PhD offers a unique research opportunity across two continents.
