MASTER THESIS
Master's Thesis on Insect Bus Monitoring
In the project ‘Insect bus monitoring: public transport records Austrian insect biodiversity’, a new innovative approach to insect monitoring using buses is being tested throughout Austria. In this project, two master's theses on the topic of insect distribution along bus routes in Tyrol are being undertaken.
What you can expect:
- Sampling and identification of flying insects
- Independent sampling three times a month until September 2024
- Participation in an innovative research project for the sustainable monitoring of insects
- Continuous support from the project team

PHD POSITION
PhD Position on environmental RNA
The analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) became a standard method to monitor fish species and abundances in freshwater streams and lakes. In marine systems however, the signal is usually blurred and translocated and thus non-informative to characterize local fish communities and their abundances.
Within the project eRNAmaris – environmental RNA in marine systems, we investigate if the analysis of environmental RNA can help to overcome these hurdles for non-invasive fish stock assessments in the ocean.
Start: January 2025
Duration: 4 years
