The Faculty of Biosciences and Aquaculture at Nord University invites applications from outstanding candidates for a PhD fellowship in applied terrestrial ecology: Applying experimental harvest to grouse populations in order to define sustainable harvest levels.

In this PhD position, the candidate will work together with a team of researchers to assess sustainable levels of recreational harvest on willow ptarmigan, black grouse and capercaillie populations. This will be done through a properly designed large scale randomised controlled experiment, making the study exceptionally useful in terms of drawing robust conclusions. Research visits abroad to international collaborators are facilitated and encouraged. Some field work in scenic environments should be expected.

The contract will be for a 3-year period without teaching. The start date is set for January 2026, though this is flexible.

The position is based in Steinkjer, Norway.
