Biological Sciences: Fully Funded EU PhD Scholarship: Seabird Stressors at Swansea University

The successful candidate would work within the Swansea Lab for Animal Movement (SLAM), deploying smart tags (such as ‘Daily Diaries’) on breeding seabirds in the North Atlantic as well as examining movement data from birds derived from ship transect data. As part of this, the candidate would use bespoke software (DDMT) on the high frequency data acquired from bird-borne loggers to dead-reckon the movement trajectories of birds with unprecedented resolution and attempt to relate movement patterns to local stressors and attractors. Finally, the overall findings would be used to populate agent-based models to derive probabilistic patterns of seabird movement according to circumstance.
