NRF-SAIAB is seeking a motivated and suitably qualified PhD candidate to immediately join the JWO-funded AQUA-STR (Aquatic Systems under Transformation and Resilience) project, based at the NRF – South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity (Johannesburg), and in association with the Centre for Biological Control.
This project focuses on understanding how climate change and invasive species interact to reshape freshwater ecosystems across Southern Africa, with a particular emphasis on trophic dynamics, ecosystem functioning, and the role of biological control in building back resilience. Fieldwork will be conducted in various African countries, including South Africa, Zimbabwe, Swaziland and Zambia.
