👀 Have a look at this new exciting PhD opportunity! Dive into macroecology, body size, and biodiversity while collaborating with an international research network!

Juan Carvajal-Quintero @juancarvq.bsky.social · Feb 14

PhD project alert! 🚨 I'm recruiting a PhD student to join my lab and the MacroSize network to investigate the trends, patterns, and processes driving intraspecific variation in fish body size in the Anthropocene. Exciting opportunity to explore ecological dynamics in a changing world! :) 🌎🐟🐠🐡

PhD Advertisement that reads:

I am recruiting a PhD student to join MacroSize, a new international research network advancing hypotheses and theories on intraspecific body size variability in fish.

The selected candidate will co-develop the project, analyze large datasets, and collaborate closely with MacroSize members, including co-leads Pablo Tedesco, Ignasi Arranz, Xingli Giam, and Juan Carvajal-Quintero.

To apply, Send your CV and a motivation letter to juan.carvajal@dal.ca. Applications are open now and will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

Start date September 2025 (flexible).

Look at one of the amazing outcomes from the last workshop organized at the @iicg-urjc.bsky.social made by the brilliantly scientific illustrator @jmalumbresolarte.bsky.social!

It summarizes key aspects in how to foster workshops, framing a space for brainstorming, and planning future strategies

👀Jagoba Malumbres, a scientific illustrator who participated in our first ‘MACROsize’ Workshop, has prepared an infographic on the process of promoting research workshops, using this workshop as a case study.

💡A bit of inspiration to encourage brainstorming spaces 💡
