MQRES Physiological Ecology of Forest Succession
Scholarship Description
A PhD scholarship investigating the physiological ecology of forest succession is available at Macquarie University. The successful applicant will work in conjunction with an ARC Discovery Project headed by Dr. Chris Lusk, in the Department of Biological Sciences. Work will focus on understanding traits associated with adaptation of juvenile plants to different light environments, and there is ample scope for the student’s own input into project design. The scholarship is available to Australian or international students. Applicants should have equivalent research qualifications to an Australia undergraduate degree with first class honours (such as a Masters with a substantial thesis component) in a relevant discipline. Tuition fees will be funded for the scholarship tenure, with domestic students receiving Research Training Scheme placement for their tuition, and International students will receive tuition and compulsory health cover for the scholarship tenure.
