Scholarship Description: We are looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic young scientists to join our research team on a three-year project investigating the effects of agricultural intensification on aphid-parasitoid food webs. A molecular approach will be used to examine how changes in plant fertilisation and landscape complexity affect food webs and how this impacts biological control of cereal aphids. This PhD-project will be part of the D-A-CH programme project �Effect of agricultural intensification on cereal aphid-primary parasitoid-hyperparasitoid food web structure and interactions�, collaboratively run between the University of Innsbruck (Institute of Ecology) and the University of G�ttingen (Department of Crop Sciences, Agroecology). The project is jointly funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and the German Research Foundation (DFG).
