I hope you're all well. We're looking for top students for two PhD projects being advertised at the moment. These are both open to UK and international students (which now includes EU students). We particularly welcome and encourage applications from under-represented groups and disadvantaged backgrounds. There is the option for these PhD positions to be conducted part-time or with flexible working.
The first project is an interdisciplinary project applying computer vision and machine learning to automate detection of poor health and welfare in captive fish. The student will spend 50% of their time at Bristol (with me and Andrew Dowsey) and Swansea universities (with Carlos Garcia De Leaniz and his collaborators):
Application deadline: 5th December 2022
The second project is at the interface of ecology (specifically invasive species biology) and animal behaviour. Although the student will be registered at Bristol, they will spend a lot of time running experiments in Trinidad with Amy Deacon, and spend some time with Sasha Dall in Exeter to work on simulation modelling:
