Marine top predators, including marine mammals, seabirds, and sharks, form important components of marine ecosystems. They are typically wide ranging and depend on patchy prey which are closely tied/linked to a dynamic physical marine environment. Therefore, an understanding of how marine top predator populations associate with the marine environment is crucial for their conservation.
However, researching and monitoring these often inconspicuous animals that spend part or all of their lives underwater requires specialist field, technological and quantitative approaches that considers their unique physiology, behavior, in parallel with their
marine environment.
A minimum 2.i BSc (Honours) undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in biological or oceanographic sciences. Applicants are expected to demonstrate a clear interest in advanced quantitative approaches and modelling in animal ecology and/or oceanography in their personal statement. A good range of IT skills are required, including the use of word-processing, spreadsheets, presentation software packages, and the use of email and the internet.
Previous experience of coding (e.g. R, Python, Matlab), spatial data analysis (e.g. ArcGIS, QGIS), or graduate-level statistics or calculus preffered but not required for this course.
Applicants with equivalent professional qualifications and/or relevant practical experience and applications from working professionals with non-graduate qualifications will be considered on an individual basis. Please contact us for further information or for an informal discussion.
