International PhD opportunities in Biodiversity and Conservation

The European Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Research is pleased to announce topics for a cohort of international PhD studentships, to start in Autumn 2005. These EU-funded studentships are designed in part to foster mobility, and so are open to applicants from anywhere in the world except the UK (for specific eligibility rules see this webpage.
Marie Curie students will be treated as University employees, and so each of the projects listed below has both a project description and a
job description associated with it. =20
The closing date for applications is March 4th 2005. Interviews will be held in March/April 2005. =20

Applicants for Marie Curie doctoral studentships in Biodiversity and Conservation research should apply through the Graduate School of the Faculty of Biological Sciences:
http://www.fbs.leeds.ac.uk/gradschool/how_to_apply.htm

Make sure to note on your application form that you are applying for a studentship through the Marie Curie EST in Biodiversity and Conservation Research, and name the project and supervisor(s) of interest. Marie Curie studentships are administered as contracts of employment, and consequently a separate job application will be required by successful studentship applicants at a later date. =20
If you have additional queries concerning a particular project, please contact the proposed supervisor(s). Queries about the Biodiversity and Conservation Research EST programme as a whole can be addressed to its co-ordinator, Dr. William Kunin (Tel: +44 113 343 2857; e-mail: w.e.kunin@leeds.ac.uk).
