Dear MARMAMers Further to my previous message (below), please note that one of the links was modified on the university website after I posted my message, so it no longer works.
Here are the two links again: - Information about the project is available here: Studying movements of bottlenose dolphins with a spatio-temporal networks approach <https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/assets/university/schools/school-of-geography-and-sustainable-development/documents/prospective-students/Edwards%20PhD%20Competition_Dr%20Urska%20Demsar_Studying%20movements%20of%20bottlenose%20dolphins%20with%20a%20spatio-temp.pdf> - For information on where and how to apply, please visit: https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/geography-sustainable-development/prospective/pgr/ Apologies for the hiccup.
