Potential Ph.D. and PostDoc opportunities

As an immigrant scientist, ex-soft money researcher (until very recently), and now new PI, I am strongly committed to supporting the community of Early Career Professionals who are passionate about marine ecology and conservation, with particular emphasis on marine top predators, polar ecosystems and regional and local issues (particularly in Southwest England), including the impacts of anthropogenic activities (from climate change to fisheries).

Our goal is to establish a robust group of excellent marine scientists in beautiful Cornwall, England, working on several topics relevant to air-breathing marine predators including (but not limited to):

• Spatial ecology

• Trophic ecology

• Ecophysiology

• Trophic webs and fluxes of energy

• Fisheries interactions

• Historical ecology

• Marine conservation

If you are interested in continuing your career investigating these and other topics as a Ph.D. student or PostDoc, and want to do exciting science focused on marine top predators where you’ll have the opportunity to use powerful and advanced analytical techniques (e.g., biologging, stable isotope analyses, endocrinology, Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles, among others), I’ll be delighted to discuss potential opportunities, ongoing and future projects, and funding mechanisms.

Members of underrepresented groups in marine sciences are particularly encouraged to contact me. All are welcome.
