PhD Studentship, University of St Andrews and Max Planck Institute for
Evolutionary Anthropology
We are currently looking for a student to undertake a PhD to analyse
data from the Pan-African Great Ape Monitoring Program. This program
is conducted by the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary
Anthropology, with advice on survey design from the Centre for Research
into Ecological and Environmental Modelling (CREEM) at St Andrews. It
seeks to estimate abundance of bonobos, chimpanzees and gorillas by
conducting line transect surveys of nests throughout their ranges. The
student will be based at CREEM, on a studentship fully funded by the
University of St Andrews and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary
Anthropology. The project will be to analyse the survey data, first to
estimate abundance by region, and then to develop spatial models to
quantify how density varies through each region.
