Dear Marmamers, This is a final reminder about our PhD opportunity at the University of Plymouth surveying cetaceans in the western English Channel, estimating abundance, distribution and exposure to shipping noise. The project will manage ongoing data collection aboard the University's sailing vessel 'Take the Helm' conducting visual and acoustic surveys using a towed hydrophone array in the English Channel and combine these data with passive acoustic data from a moored hydrophone to model exposure to vessel noise. The project will be supervised by Dr Simon Ingram and Dr Clare Embling at the University of Plymouth in collaboration with Dr Rosalyn Putland at CEFAS (Centre for Environment Fisheries & Aquaculture Science). The post is a 5 year part time teaching and part time DTA (Doctoral Teaching Assistant) studentship. The closing date for applications is 26th January 2023. For more details use the link below. Please be aware that because this is a part-time teaching post, the studentship is only open to UK or Irish citizens or those with a current right to work in the UK. https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/schools/school-of-biological-and-marine-sciences/the-abundance-and-distribution-of-cetaceans-in-the-western-english-channel-and-their-exposure-to-ship-noise<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.plymouth.ac.uk%2Fschools%2Fschool-of-biological-and-marine-sciences%2Fthe-abundance-and-distribution-of-cetaceans-in-the-western-english-channel-and-their-exposure-to-ship-noise&data=05%7C01%7Csimon.ingram%40plymouth.ac.uk%7C44d51b317f3143b2271c08dae3697fa1%7C5437e7eb83fb4d1abfd3bb247e061bf1%7C1%7C0%7C638072339510729726%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=uvUnPHwHizo476t8fyG8TD%2B9QCRX5exPPV%2BGZeGg43U%3D&reserved=0> ________________________________ [http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/images/email_footer.gif]<http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/worldclass> This email and any files with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the recipient to whom it is addressed.
