Graduate PhD positions are available in the Laboratory of Freshwater Ecology at Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario to conduct ecological research on lakes and rivers.

These graduate positions are funded at the PhD level but we will consider exceptional MSc candidates who are interested in transferring to the PhD.
