PhD Research Project Type/Funding

The use of Passive Acoustic Monitoring in biodiversity surveys (BUTLERUBIO19ARIES)

University of East Anglia
School of Biological Sciences

Dr S Butler, Dr I Barr

Application Deadline: 8 January 2019

Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is increasingly used both to monitor rare and/or nocturnal species that are often undetectable with traditional active monitoring approaches and to draw inference on biodiversity health and community structure from the characteristics of the composite soundscape.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Novel biomimetic acoustic sensors inspired by insect hearing

University of Strathclyde
Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering

Prof J Windmill

Applications accepted all year round

Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD position to work on an exciting inter-disciplinary project. The project aims to investigate the hearing organs of various insects, and use this biological knowledge to inspire the development of novel acoustic sensors with biomimetic properties.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Acoustic properties of nanofibre composites

University of Manchester
School of Mathematics

Prof W J Parnell

Application Deadline: 16 September 2019

Noise pollution is a serious problem in many aspects of modern society. Although many materials exist that can provide mechanisms for sound absorption, particularly in the higher frequency ranges, compact low-frequency noise attenuation and absorption remains a significant challenge.
