15 PhD positions at the Science-Policy interface of international biodiversity conservation
Inspire4Nature (www.inspire4nature.eu) is a PhD training network at the interface between the science and the policy of international biodiversity conservation, funded by the EU Horizon2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. We are now recruiting 15 PhD positions – each one of them in collaboration with one (or more) leading international conservation organisations! Deadline: 16 April.
