See below for details. Please do pass around your networks! All the best, Chris From: "Spencer, Jonathan" <jonathan.spen...@forestry.gsi.gov.uk <mailto:jonathan.spen...@forestry.gsi.gov.uk> > Date: Monday, 8 February 2016 11:39 To: Helen Meech <helen.me...@rewildingbritain.org.uk <mailto:helen.me...@rewildingbritain.org.uk> > Cc: Charlie Burrell <char...@knepp.co.uk <mailto:char...@knepp.co.uk> > Subject: Pine Marten Studentship Dear Helen and Charlie, We have recently won a CASE award to look closely at the interaction of Pine Martens with red and grey squirrels (and the transmission of squirrel pox in the presence of a predator disrupting squirrel behaviour), along with the impact of the arrival of a new predator into a diverse and well established set of avian predators. Or that’s how I understand the study at present! It will no doubt evolve and may well entail engagement in a species reintroduction in Kielder or Ennerdale though funding needs to be secured for this….though they are only kilometres away in Scotland at present. The work will be supervised by Emma Sheehy who has joined Xavier Lambin’s team in Aberdeen in conjunction with our excellent North Forest District in Keilder and possibly the Lake District. A great opportunity for a first class student. The details Xavier has provided me with can be found below: “NERC-funded PhD studentship advertised: Assessing the economic and conservation impacts of the pine marten, a recovering predator, on non-native grey squirrels, and forest land management. http://master.findaphd.com/search/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=72045 <http://master.findaphd.com/search/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=72045> Could you please forward the e mail on to the Board members (and especially Chris Sandom at Sussex) whose e mail I cannot locate!) and hence to any interested student or other contacts who might find this of interest. It is the second CASE studentship we have established and will be the last for a while. So not only a prized opportunity but a rare one to boot. Species as opposed to land perhaps should be on the agenda in some for discussions in Corrour? No need to reply.
