Overview

The University of Exeter offers a PhD studentship focused on innovative technology to record and understand wild animal behaviour, with applications closing on 8 December 2026. This research will explore pathogen transmission in wildlife populations using advanced metagenomic sequencing and machine learning techniques. The position is based in Exeter, United Kingdom.

About this role

This interdisciplinary PhD project aims to integrate metagenomic data with machine learning to identify patterns of pathogen transmission in wildlife. The research will focus on model wildlife populations, including migratory birds and badgers, and will link microbial community composition to host traits and environmental conditions.

The project will generate insights into how pathogens circulate within wildlife systems and the role of environmental reservoirs in disease transmission. It will contribute to wildlife disease ecology and conservation biology, providing tools to support disease surveillance and management interventions.
