I am always keen to hear from postdocs, students and volunteers who are interested in what we do in the lab, ranging from animal movement, social behaviour to disease ecology. Have a look at my research and publication page to find out more about our work and interests.
Postdocs. The Australian Research Council offers Early Career Fellowships through a competitive selection process. They are called DECRAs, and application deadlines are once a year. Deadlines are published here, but the University has a much earlier expression of interest date. You may also have access to Fellowships through your home country. Please get in contact with a short bio and your research interests, if you are interested to discuss possibilities.
PhD Students, Masters and Honours students. I have few research ideas in mind that I would like to tackle next, but I am open to discuss your own ideas. For Masters and Honours students, I believe that you will get the most out of your research project if it aligns well with the existing study systems that I use, and fits into the overall research theme. My sheep study system in particular allows to address a large variety of research questions ranging from fundamental questions to applied questions. Most of my research projects generate a lot of data as we often intimately follow a large number of animals using GPS collars. Hence, it would be important that you have keen interest in learning quantitative skills. Have a look at the scholarship schemes available at the University of Adelaide. Other scholarship opportunities may be available in your home country.
Volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering in one of my research projects, please get in touch. We usually do several trips per year to the Fowlers Gap Arid Zone Research Station where we collect our field data, which is near Broken Hill in Western NSW. But there are also opportunities to become involved here in Adelaide.
