EPSRC CASE PhD studentship in STATISTICS: University of Kent.
Statistical analysis and modelling of benthic data
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Benthic organisms live on the seabed, and are largely sedentary. As a
result, they are studied in order to monitor the effects of man-induced
seabed disturbances, such as fishing and dredging. The quantitative
investigation of benthic organisms is currently of great importance, with
relevance for conservation and biodiversity.
The research will involve the development and fitting of suitable
probability models for the spatial distribution of individual species, and
exploring links with acoustic (sonar) and appropriate covariate data. The
collaborating body for this CASE award is the Centre for Environment,
Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas), located in Lowestoft in
Suffolk. The project will be jontly supervised by Jon Barry of Cefas, and
Byron Morgan and Martin Ridout at Kent.
The studentship is open to British and other EU students. Tuition fees
would be paid for both groups. In addition, for British students the
annual stipend is currently 16,600 pounds a year, but other EU students
would only receive 3,000 pounds a year.
The student should have a good first degree, and/or an MSc, in statistics,
or mathematics in which statistics forms a prominent part, and will become
a member of the EPSRC National Centre for Statistical Ecology,
Closing date: 27th June, 2008. Application forms can be obtained from

EPSRC PhD studentship
Modelling the spatio-temporal distribution of Sumatran tigers and their
prey.
This studentship will explore in detail probability models for the detection
and occupancy of tigers and their prey, taking account of environmental
characteristics. Relevant models are complex, and their understanding and
characteristics need to be properly elucidated. Models will be fitted to
extensive data sets, obtained via the Durrell Institute of Conservation
Ecology.
The student should have a good first degree, and/or an MSc, in statistics,
or mathematics in which statistics forms a prominent part, and will become a
member of the EPSRC National Centre for Statistical Ecology. Fees will be
met in full for students from the EU. The annual stipend is currently
13,600 pounds a year.
CLosing date: 27th June, 2008. Application forms from
