The University of Sheffield is offering a fully fundend Ph.D. studentship on the following topic:

“Detecting the effect of climate change on animals: how mathematics can help optimise data-gathering efforts”

This project is suited to a graduate (or prospective graduate) of any discipline within the mathematical sciences. The successful candidate would have a desire to collaborate across disciplines, an interest in animal ecology (and nature more broadly), but need not have any formal biological/ecological training.

We encourage informal enquiries prior to application. If you are interested, please contact the lead supervisor, Dr. Jonathan Potts.

Shortlisted applicants will be invited for an interview to take place in the w/c 10th February 2020.
