PhD position summary/title: PhD position ‘Tracking predators and prey using drones’
The PhD candidate will (1) analyse data from collared predators to identify movement signatures indicative of hunting, (2) use drones to study the long-term responses of free-ranging zebras after an encounter with predators or humans, and (3) analyse movement data to identify individual and collective behaviours that can differentiate between predator attacks and encounters with humans. We are looking for a PhD candidate who is keen to perform state-of-the-art research on tracking and studying movement of predators and prey using drones. The candidate is expected to publish the research findings in leading international academic journals, but must also communicate well across disciplines, project partners and stakeholders (e.g. government, development). The candidate will also be involved in the supervision of MSc students who perform their thesis research within the framework of the project.

PhD position summary/title: 5 PhD positions in the Pig Paradigm project
WUR is hiring 5 PhD candidates and one postdoctoral researcher (all 4 years, full-time employment) to become part of PIG-PARADIGM. In this project funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, we aim to decipher interactions of the developing pig, its diet and its intestinal microbiome, as well as the effect of post-weaning stress on intestinal mucosa functioning and susceptibility to infections. We want to turn that knowledge into new strategies for healthier pigs. We will study how members of the intestinal microbiome interact with each other and with the host intestine using advanced organoid-based models, and whether changes in the diet or the environment affect the intestinal microbiome so that less antibiotics are required. You will work in a team that is passionate about the role microbiomes play in the health of humans, animals and our environment.
