[MARMAM] PhD Opportunity on Southern Ocean predator

2022-10-30 Thread Huckstadt, Luis
Dear all,

My colleagues and I are excited to announce the following studentship 
opportunity for the PhD project entitled "Understanding the effects of rapid 
environmental change on the ecology of a key Southern Ocean predator, the 
Antarctic fur seal" at the University of Exeter, Cornwall campus

Lead Supervisor

Dr Luis 
Huckstadt

Location: University of Exeter, Penryn Campus, Penryn.

Additional Supervisors

Dr Jaume Forcada

Location: British Antarctic Survey, High Cross, Madingley Road, Cambridge

Dr Stuart 
Bearhop

Location: University of Exeter, Penryn Campus, Penryn.

Dr Richard 
Sabin

Location: Natural History Museum, London

Dr Sally 
Thorpe

Location: British Antarctic Survey, UK

This project will investigate the differences in the foraging ecology and 
patterns of habitat utilisation of Antarctic fur seals across a latitudinal 
gradient across the Polar Front (South Georgia and South Shetland Islands), as 
well as build models to project future changes as the environment continues to 
change. Further, ecological historical data from museum specimens provide a 
unique opportunity to detect past and project future changes in the ecology of 
this conspicuous Antarctic mesopredator over multiple decades.


Candidate requirements

The successful candidate will have a background in ecology, excellent 
quantitative and analytical skills, and will demonstrate a strong interest in 
foraging ecology and behaviour of marine predators. Expertise in programming in 
R, Matlab, and/or Python and statistical analyses is indispensable. Experience 
working with stable isotopes, and biologging data is advantageous. The 
successful applicant will have to travel between Cornwall, London, and 
Cambridge, as well as to international conferences. Applicants should satisfy 
the UKRI eligibility requirements.
