Dear All, We are very happy to announce our bi-annual summer course for PhD students in bioacoustics with high relevance for students working with marine mammals and sound. Please see information below. Best Peter Application open for the Graduate Summer Course in Bioacoustics, August 2-15, 2026, Denmark. Our hands-on course focuses on methods for studying animal acoustic communication and echolocation in water and air. Our amazing team of world-renowned experts will teach you the fundamentals of acoustics, signal analysis, psychoacoustics, animal sound production, perception and noise. In- and outdoor labs provide hands-on experience on sound and vibration recording, sound analysis, and playback in air and water with emphasis on methodological limitations and pitfalls. There will be practical experience with recording vocalisations from trained pinnipeds and echolocation signals from trained harbour porpoises, and labs on how to make quantitative measurements of underwater noise. Teachers: Iris Adam (SDU), Jakob Christensen-Dalsgaard (SDU), Coen P.H. Elemans (SDU), Lasse Jakobsen (SDU), Elodie Mande-Briefer (Copenhagen University, DK), Ole Næsbye Larsen (SDU), Peter Teglberg Madsen (Aarhus University, DK), Jeppe Have Rasmussen (Copenhagen University, DK), Jakob Tougaard (Aarhus University, DK) Magnus Wahlberg (SDU), Sue Anne Zollinger (Manchester Metropolitan University, UK). The course is taught at the marine and terrestrial field stations of the Department of Biology, University of Southern Denmark. Application should be emailed to bioacoustics@biology.sdu.dk<mailto:bioacoustics@biology.sdu.dk> Application deadline: April 10th, 2026. Priority is given to students enrolled in a PhD-program at their home universities. Maximal number of participants: 24. Successful applicants will be notified of acceptance before May 1st, 2026.
