Hi All, I'm aiming to recruit a new PhD student to join our programme on Caspian seal (Pusa caspica) ecology and conservation, at the University of Leeds, UK. The focus of this project will be "Evaluating the potential consequences of climate heating for Caspian seals and ecosystem services in the Caspian Sea", with a start date of October 2023. The project would be funded via a competitive University of Leeds PhD scholarship, and is open to UK home rated students. We'd also be able to consider overseas students with their own external scholarship funding. For me more details see: https://goodmanlab.org/opportunities/phd-project-caspian_seals/ Closing date depends on the particular University scholarship applied to, but the earliest dates are in January 2023.
