PhD in tropical conservation: Quantifying the impacts of wildlife trade on tropical biodiversity
Wildlife trade is a core driver of the global extinction crisis, with the epicentre of traded species diversity in the tropics. Key questions remain about how wildlife trade impacts species populations and, in turn, the long-term sustainability of trade. Read more
Internet of Things Infrastructure for Sustainable Wildlife Conservation [Self-Funded Students Only]
This project will investigate the design and development of an end-to-end, distributed, Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure to support sustainable wildlife conservation. Read more
Ecology and behaviour of urban wildlife
The construction and development of urban areas is a relatively recent phenomenon. Urbanisation does, however, impose a range of advantages and disadvantages for biological organisms and which can bring them into conflict with humans. Read more

Harnessing people power for hedgehogs: Using predictors of hedgehog abundance across an urban-rural gradient to inform conservation strategies
Despite uncertainty over the absolute population size of hedgehogs in the UK, it is widely accepted that their numbers have declined significantly over recent decades, and it is estimated that numbers have halved in rural landscapes and decreased by a third in urban areas over the last 20 years.

PhD position in the Restoration of Soil Microbial and Invertebrate Biodiversity in Urban Greenspaces
Exposure to soil biodiversity in urban greenspaces can promote human and wildlife health by impacting their microbiomes. However, the development of soil biodiversity following aboveground restoration is poorly understood, as are the pathways through which people are exposed to this biodiversity. Read more
PhD Studentship in Ecology - Investigating the assembly of plant and animal communities following wildfire: an ecological network approach
Overview. Wildfire naturally drives biodiversity patterns globally through heterogeneous disturbance regimes (Kelly & Brotons 2017), but there is growing evidence that climate change (and a range of other factors) is increasing wildfire frequency and severity in many parts of the world (Flannigan et al.
