Research Fellow / Research Associate in Ecosystem Acoustics Nottingham Trent University in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Exeter in Mathematics and Statistics on whether forests are becoming more vulnerable to climate extremes . This project sits within the UNRISK CDT and combines satellite data analysis , statistical risk modelling , climate science , ecology , environmental science , and mathematical modelling . The research will use decades of satellite records of forest photosynthesis and carbon stocks to study how forests respond to heatwaves and droughts, how quickly they ...

PhD opportunity via the Iapetus DTP: Enhancing conservation decision-making through scientific innovation . The project focuses on conservation science , biodiversity metrics , and the scientific development of IUCN’s Species Threat Abatement and Restoration (STAR) metric. The work will involve collaboration with colleagues at IUCN , including Thomas Starnes , and is being advertised by Louise Mair (Research Fellow at Newcastle University). This is a strong fit for applicants interested in envir...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia (School of Environmental Sciences) on drivers and consequences of recent changes in bird migration . This project investigates how and why migratory birds are changing their behaviour, including reductions in migratory distance, shifts in timing, and cases where individuals become sedentary. The research combines ecology , animal movement , remote sensing , data science , and zoology , with a strong conservation focus. Research themes and methods:...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of Michigan in the School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) with Dr. Lauren E. Gillespie’s research group. The project sits at the intersection of AI , remote sensing , ecology , biodiversity , and environmental science . The lab develops AI-integrated approaches for ecosystem monitoring and works with large-scale environmental data to study environmental change, ecological forecasting, and biodiversity patterns. Research themes mentioned in...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds on Prioritising Conservation Planning Amid Climate Uncertainty . This project sits within the UNRISK CDT and focuses on how to prioritise habitats for conservation when decisions must account for biodiversity loss , climate change , and uncertainty in ecological and climate data. The research combines ecology , climate science , data science , mathematical modelling , and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to build an adaptive framework for conserv...
