This is a student scholarship opportunity offered by the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) and the University of Bath in the UK. Please don't reply to the Ramsar Secretariat. Best regards, Dwight Peck, Ramsar.     NERC CASE Studentship The ecological and life-history basis of extinction risk in wetland birds   Supervised by Dr T Szekely (University of Bath), Dr M O'Connell (WWT) & Dr M Kershaw (WWT)   Why are many wetlands and waterbirds declining worldwide, and why are some wetland systems more diverse than others? A NERC Case studentship (available from October 2004) will tackle these questions by addressing a suite of research hypotheses using recent advances in evolutionary biology and conservation biology. Testing these innovative and scientifically challenging hypotheses will have a range of direct and indirect implications for the conservation of wetland biodiversity.   The student will be registered at the University of Bath although he/she will spend a substantial period of time at WWT Slimbridge. We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who is able to learn a range of new techniques. These include phylogenetic comparative analyses and GIS. Applicants should have (or expect to obtain) at least an Upper Second Class Honours Degree in a biological subject.   Applications can be made by downloading an application form from http://www.bath.ac.uk/bio-sci/bsps.htm Please include a full CV and the names and addresses of two academic referees. Send to Ms Anne Pearson (bssap@bath.ac.uk) by 12 April 2004.   ********** Dwight Peck, Communications Officer The Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, Iran, 1971) Rue Mauverney 28, CH-1196 Gland, Switzerland       Logged From the HKBWS Office Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------=> General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
