Postdoctoral Fellowships

We have an excellent track record supporting successful applications for Independent Research Fellowships. Here is a list of more than 170 funding agencies offering postdoctoral research fellowships in the biological sciences, compiled by Dieter Lukas.  

 

PhD Studentships

Each year, we advertise funded PhD opportunities via LinkedIn through Swansea's Doctoral Training Centres and Partnerships. If you have identified potential funding for developing your own PhD topic (e.g. Commonwealth or FSBI scholarships), then contact Andrew attaching your CV and explaining your interests, research skills, and why you would like to work with us. Andrew meets his PhD students regularly (normally weekly) and publication of research results in peer-reviewed journals is encouraged. Most students produce 3-4 first-authored published papers from their dissertations.

​

MRes Biosciences

We supervise 1-2 MRes in Behavioural Ecology & Evolution students each year. Contact Andrew before applying to discuss potential topics. Andrew meets his MRes students regularly (normally weekly) and projects normally feed into publications in peer-reviewed journals, on which MRes students are co-authors. Excellent students are mentored to produce first-authored published papers from their dissertations.

Internships and Field Assistants

Most years we advertise for field assistants and/or internships to help with our field and laboratory research projects, but priority is given to Swansea students since we tend to be able to source funds for salaries easier. If you are external to Swansea, The Royal Society for Biology provides a handy list of links to organisations that provide funding for undergraduate internships which you could take up with us.

​

Visitors

We regularly host visiting PhD students for up to 6 months without any charge (fees, etc.) and also host visiting and honorary research fellows and scientists from other institutions around the world. Again, just get in contact with us!
