The Nutritional Mutualisms Lab at Lingnan University is seeking PhD students interested in working on projects related to the ecology and evolution of corals, lichens, and plant-mycorrhizal relationships. Currently, we have funding specifically to support a student working on the trophic ecology of corals, however applicants interested in any of the lab's study systems are encouraged to apply.
Prospective students can apply to the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme, which offers competitive annual stipends (~$43,000 USD) and travel allowances (~$1,800 USD). The application for September 2026 intake will likely open around September 1st 2025 with an expected deadline of early December.
