PhD Opportunity in Fish Macroecology – Join the MacroSize Network!

I am recruiting a PhD student to join MacroSize, an international research network exploring intraspecific body size variability in fish.

As part of this dynamic collaboration, you will:
✅ Co-develop a research project at the intersection of macroecology and global change.
✅ Analyze large datasets to uncover trends, patterns and processes shaping fish body size variation.
✅ Work with researchers in an interdisciplinary team, including MacroSize co-leads Pablo Tedesco, Ignasi Arranz, Xingli Giam, and Juan Carvajal-Quintero.
✅ Gain international experience through collaborations, workshops, and networking opportunities.

🔹 Who should apply?
Enthusiasm, curiosity, and a willingness to learn matter most! We want to hear from everyone who is interested. During your project, you will learn macroecology, biogeography, statistical programming in R, and how to synthesize and analyze large ecological datasets. As your project evolves, you’ll also have the opportunity to explore and develop your own interests in related fields.

📩 How to apply
Send your CV and a motivation letter to juan.carvajal@dal.ca. Applications are open now and will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

Start date: September 2025 (flexible).

Location: Dalhousie University

Come be part of an innovative team pushing the boundaries of fish macroecology!
