1. Fully-funded International PhD Scholarships in Wild Mammalian Carnivores

  1. Phd
  2. Tuition fees + £15,609 p.a.
  3. 31 January
Visit Scholarship Website

Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD scholarship that will focus on understanding what factors predict wild mammalian carnivores’ ability to adapt to environmental changes, particularly within the context of rewilding. This PhD study is part of the University of Hull’s REWILD Research cluster (see “About the research cluster” below for more details of the cluster). The notion of rewilding is a controversial topic because many programmes focus on carnivores. Negative opinions can severely limit such programmes’ success, thereby wasting time, money, and effort. The PhD will therefore explore, among other things, the links between the psychology and behavioural ecology of wild mammalian carnivores’ adaptability to new environments, and how human perception of those species can facilitate rewilding success.

We are looking for an enthusiastic student with the following general qualities: 1) a keen interest and passion for wildlife, 2) experience conducting research involving trail cameras, 3) in good physical and mental condition suitable for working outdoors, 4) medical and car insurance, 5) a valid driving license, 6) a vehicle suitable for driving on country roads, 7) roadside car assistance (e.g., AA), 8) an interest and ability to work effectively in both the field and lab, and 9) a proficiency in, or willingness to become proficient in data analysis using R. Knowledge or a willingness to learn structural equation modelling is also highly desirable. Lastly, working in the field has many potential dangers (e.g., accidental injury) and must be done even when the weather is not ideal (e.g., cold and rainy days). Thus, the successful student must be willing to work safely and responsibly under such conditions, and potentially for exceptionally long hours (e.g., dawn to dusk).
 
The successful student will, among other things, set up trail cameras and puzzle feeders throughout our field sites to monitor animals’ visitations and behaviour at those locations. You will also use a combination of surveys and experimental methods to study the underlying drivers of human perception of wild carnivorans, particularly within the context of rewilding programmes. It is intended that there will be no direct human-animal contact and that animals will visit locations when people are not present. The successful candidate will be part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary and nurturing environment to help realise your potential, and will be provided with excellent opportunities for external networking. We will hold regular monthly meetings with the entire cluster, with opportunities to present and discuss research, invite internal and external speakers and collaborators and foster networking.
For informal enquiries, please contact Dr Blake Morton.

Eligibility

Applicants should have a 2:1 or equivalent in a relevant discipline (e.g. psychology or animal behaviour). A masters in a related subject or relevant experience would also be an advantage.

4. PhD International Studentships in Next-Generation Technologies

  1. Phd
  2. Tuition fees + £15,500 p.a.
  3. 31 January
Visit Scholarship Website

 

Project outline
Current strategies for evaluating personal protective equipment (PPE) adhere to well established, standardised test regimes. For example, swatches of PPE material can be evaluated in isolation by measuring the breakthrough times of toxic chemicals. More realistic testing requires the evaluation of whole suits when worn by volunteers (wearing passive chemical dosimeters) whilst undertaking physical tasks in a contaminated environment. Such exposures are necessarily limited to relatively non-toxic chemical contaminants. Moreover, the use of passive dosimeters precludes a temporal resolution of suit performance.
The aim of this project is to further develop an animated mannequin equipped with real-time chemical sensors to enable the assessment of protective ensembles against a wide range of toxic chemicals. This is a substantial, multidisciplinary project that will provide a unique and broad training opportunity for the successful candidate. The project aims to contribute towards the understanding of PPE testing and provide scientific evidence to support the development of new and effective PPE.

Eligibility

Applicants must hold, or be about to attain, a first class or upper second-class (2:1) Honours degree or equivalent from a recognised institution or a masters degree in a relevant subject. Self-motivated candidates with excellent problem-solving skills are encouraged to apply.

IELTS

Do you wish to become an international student next year?
Demonstrate your English skills with IELTS.

Benefits

The PhD studentship is open to UK and international students. The successful students will receive a stipend and have their tuition fees paid. Please note successful international applicants will have to pay their own visa and travel costs.

Application

  • a completed application form
