Following on from Sally's message (below), R users with an interest in phylogenetics, combinatorics or information theory may be interested in two further PhD opportunities through the Iapetus scheme, both based in Durham, UK:

IAPETUS studentships are fully funded and include an extensive training package. Please see the IAPETUS website for further information about the scheme, including eligibility, funding and how to apply: http://www.iapetus.ac.uk/ Together with diverse supervisory teams, I am looking in particular for applicants interested in working on the following projects - Drivers of reintroduction success in mammals and birds (based in Durham): http://www.iapetus.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/IAP2-18-24_Durham_Street-2.pdf The evolution of extractive foraging in mammals and birds (based in Durham): http://www.iapetus.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IAP2-18-149_Durham_Barton.pdf The role of climate in birds� nest design (based in St Andrews): http://www.iapetus.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/IAP2-18-78_St-Andrews_Healy.pdf Applications are due by *18th January 2019* for projects starting in Autumn 2019. Only UK/EU candidates are eligible to apply for IAPETUS studentships. International candidates interested in similar projects may consider applying for a Durham Doctoral Studentship instead (see link for further information: https://www.dur.ac.uk/anthropology/postgraduatestudy/funding/). I would also be interested in hearing from potential applicants interested in projects using phylogenetic methods to investigate the cultural evolution of music. Potential candidates should get in touch with Sally Street by email (sally.e.str...@durham.ac.uk<mailto:sally.e.str...@durham.ac.uk>) to make informal enquiries before applying.
