I am really excited to advertise a Masters by Research part-funded by the British Ecological Society working with me, Dr Paul Eady and Dr Micheal Gillman on studying heatwave effects on the large white butterfly, Pieris brassicae. Insects are facing multiple threats, including land use change, intensive agricultural practices, pesticides and climate change. This masters will address some of the mechanisms driving insect declines and the effects of increase in average temperatures on population persistence with a mix of field experiments and modelling. Do you like butterflies and would you like working in the beautiful Riseholme campus at the outskirts of the small and friendly city of Lincoln, UK? The School of Life Sciences at the University of Lincoln is a vibrant and international department, and our Evolution and Ecology research group covers a wide range of topics, from evolutionary ecology, to biomechanics and paleontology. If you are interested, please send me a 2-page CV and a letter explaining why you'd like to apply by the 5 March 2021. The full application can be found on our School website, under current studentships opportunities for the School of Life Sciences.
