[BERG] FW: Birdsong PhD studentship advertisement

[Christine Caldwell]

Hello all,

Please spread the word (promptly if at all possible, given the deadline) to anyone you think might be interested in applying for this PhD post using citizen science to study birdsong dialects.  The supervisors are particularly interested in recruiting someone with a psychology background, and it seems that they haven’t had quite as many applications as they were expecting.

Christine.

Hello everyone,

My PhD supervisor (Rob Lachlan) is advertising a four-year fully funded studentship, which I think would be a fantastic opportunity for a graduate interested in birds, animal behaviour and/or coding. The project is split in 2, beginning with exploring bird song learning in the Buntings, and includes funded field trips to Scandinavia and Japan. The second half will be building a citizen science project to record song in Great Tits across the UK, which I will be helping advise with. There's been relatively few applicants thus far, and the deadline is fast approaching on the 21st March, so please forward this on to anyone you know that may be interested. Though the application blurb does state psychology as a desired degree, it is very much suited for a graduate of biology, ecology or something similar.

I have attached further details, and feel free to contact myself or Robert.Lachlan at rhul.ac.uk<mailto:Robert.Lachlan at rhul.ac.uk> for any more information.

Cheers
Joe
