Robert Björk is looking for a PhD student to join his team at the University of Gothenburg to work within the project ‘Importance of trophic interactions for mycorrhizal dynamics across the Arctic’ funded by the Swedish Research Council.
The project will use long-term herbivore exclusion experiments at multiple sites across the Arctic to assess how herbivory affects soil fungal communities and the role of ericoid and ectomycorrhizal shrubs in ecosystem carbon dynamics in the Arctic.

Deadline for applications is February 28, 2019.
