Dear All,
We have an PhD opportunity for a project exploring links between macroecology and macroeconomics. The basic idea is to improve on previous efforts linking consumption-based accounting (e.g. MRIO models) with datasets and/or models of biodiversity and its response to land use change. This project would build upon previous collaboration between University of Leeds and Southampton. Funding will be sought from the 110 University of Leeds Anniversary Research Scholarships announced by the University and is available for UK and EU nationals. Deadline for application is 18 February 2015. For more details and application process information see: http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/study/phd/ecology-and-global-change/linking-macroeconomic-growth-to-biodiversity-impacts/ and http://www.leeds.ac.uk/info/125186/postgraduate_funding/2013/university_of_leeds_110_anniversary_resear p.s. please do not reply to this email address.
