I have an open position available for a student wishing to pursue a PhD
in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Hong Kong on
the ecology of elephants.
Elephants are large-bodied, long-lived and socially complex mammals. One
of my research areas is to understand how elephants make sense,
particularly in relation to humans, be it through comparative studies of
life history or ecology, or incorporating humans into studies to
understand how elephants respond to their environment.
I have access to populations of captive elephants in Asia, and some
opportunities for working with wild African elephants.
Projects on the following topics will be considered:
Life histories
Behavioural ecology and experimental approaches to behaviour
Novel approaches to approaching human-wildlife interactions
Applications linked to living in captivity and/or conservation of wild
elephants
Essential requirements:
An excellent academic track record, including undergraduate degree of at
least a high upper second-class undergraduate degree, or GPA of 3.5 or
over
A passion for the general field and your specific topic
The desire and drive to become an independent researcher
Desirable requirements:
Field and/or lab experience clearly linked to the topic of your proposal
Publishing experience
Master's degree with a high grade
The position is available to start in September 2019 or as soon as
possible thereafter. If you are interested in these topics, please
contact me with a draft research plan and CV as soon as possible, for
candidates applying by 30th April there's a possibility of a University
scholarship with candidates with excellent academic results. If selected
I can develop a research proposal with you and guide you through the
application process. Contact me on hsmumby@xxxxxx
