PhD position opens on cognitive buffering in altered environments
Original: Cognitive buffering in an increasingly altered planet: from neurons to populations PhD project | FPU 2026 Human activiti
A PhD project funded by Spain's FPU 2026 programme is examining why some animal species cope with human-driven environmental change while others decline. The research, titled 'Cognitive buffering in an increasingly altered planet: from neurons to populations', will connect brain mechanisms with population-level outcomes, aiming to explain differences in species' persistence across rapidly transforming habitats.
Why now: A funded doctoral position in ecology and cognitive science has opened under the FPU 2026 call, attracting interest from researchers.
