Once again, we are inviting applications for summer research bursaries to be allocated to student members of the Ecology, Conservation and Biodiversity Research Theme. We have two bursaries to allocate, each worth up to $5,000. Students may approach faculty members to discuss possible projects.
Welcome from the theme director
The Ecology, Conservation and Biodiversity Research Theme at Otago University is a grouping of ecologists working in diverse fields - terrestrial, freshwater and marine. Informally we call ourselves the ERG (Ecology Research Group). Our aims are (i) to encourage the exchange of ideas and information amongst ecologists working in different disciplines and departments, (ii) to foster interdisciplinary research within the University and between the University and other interested parties and (iii) to increase awareness of the strength and range of ecological research at the University and to work closely with the Ecology Board of Studies to ensure synergy between research, teaching and learning in ecology. Any Otago staff member or student performing ecological research is very welcome to join.
