PhD Studentship in Ecology at the Tropical Agricultural Centre for Research and Higher Education (CATIE)








The Tropical Agricultural Centre for Research and Higher Education (CATIE) invites applications from top-quality candidates for a PhD studentship in ecology, to work with Dr Bryan Finegan (Principal Advisor), Dr Celia Harvey, Dr Andreas Nieuwenhuyse, Dr Danilo Pezo, and other scientific staff at CATIE and its partner institutions.

The successful applicant will carry out research on ecosystem processes including ecosystem productivity and nutrient cycling in contrasting agroecological conditions in at least two of the three pilot areas the CATIE/NORAD-PD project has in Petén (Guatemala), Muy Muy (Nicaragua) and Olanchito (Honduras). In all three areas the landscape is dominated by low-productivity pastures with different degrees of tree cover but also includes riparian forest and secondary forest developing on abandoned pastureland, and improved pastures. The research project will investigate the relationship between ecosystem processes and habitat type, with particular emphasis on factors such as tree cover and management regime.


The project is expected to produce high-quality scientific publications, but also to provide key scientific support to the participatory development of options for the use of degraded pastures.


The scholarship is for three years and includes all tuition costs, research costs, living expenses and necessary international travel. The funds for the scholarship are administered by CATIE, and come from the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD). Candidates must possess an M.Sc. degree from a recognized institution and be citizens of any Latin American or Caribbean country. Preference will be given to candidates from Central American countries. They should apply for entry to one of CATIE´s two joint PhD programmes, that with the University of Idaho, or that with the University of Wales. The decision regarding the joint programme to apply for should be taken after consultation with the CATIE researchers mentioned above. The official language of CATIE´s PhD programme is English.
