Please consider this posting- thank you: PhD Opportunities Janet Mann is recruiting PhD graduate students for fall 2024 to the Department of Biology at Georgetown University. Janet leads two long-term studies of wild bottlenose dolphins (*Tursiops aduncus* in Shark Bay, Australia and *T. ereben*nus in the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay) and we are studying a range of topics, including behavior, social development, foraging ecology, sponge tool use, demography, spatial ecology, genetics, network dynamics, population and community structure, and responses to human activity and climate events. We are especially interested in prospective students that have a strong background in behavioral ecology, field (especially marine) experience, demographic or population modeling, statistics, data science, and programming, especially in R. Candidates who have research experience that has resulted in presentation at scientific conferences and/or scientific publications are also strongly encouraged to apply. Most candidates have applied for external graduate fellowship support (e.g., National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships Program or the Gates Millennium Scholars Program), but if admitted to the program, students are guaranteed five years of stipend support. If you would like to find out more about the Biology Department graduate program at Georgetown, there are *informational sessions* coming up here <https://biology.georgetown.edu/phd-program/applicants/>. The deadline for full applications is *December 1*. If you are interested in joining my lab, please contact me ( mannj2@georgetown.edu) by November 15. Please look at our websites: monkeymiadolphins.org and pcdolphinproject.org. Additional PhD opportunities with the Shark Bay Dolphin Project are available through the Foroughirad Lab (foroughiradlab.github.io) in the Marine Biology Department of Texas A&M University at Galveston.
