PhD studentship- Eurasian Curlew
- Location:Liverpool, Merseyside, United Kingdom
- Earnings:Fully funded PhD
PhD studentship - Beyond borders: habitat use of wintering Eurasian Curlew in and around coastal SPAs
Location
Based at both Liverpool John Moores University and the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), Thetford.
Time commitment
Full-time, 1 October 2026 – 30 September 2030 (part-time studentship applications will be considered in exceptional circumstances)
Funding
This is a fully funded PhD. Funding will consist of full UK home student tuition fees, a living stipend at UK Research Council rates for 4 years, and a budget for research costs and training opportunities
Project description
The estuaries of northwestern Europe provide rich feeding grounds for wintering waterbirds on the East Atlantic Flyway, with many designated as Special Protection Areas (SPAs). While many species spend their time exclusively in estuarine habitats, as tidal mudflat feeders, waders are restricted to using estuarine habitats only when tides are low, moving onto beaches and saltmarshes to roost at high tide, with some species also using inland terrestrial habitats beyond SPA boundaries. The Eurasian Curlew (Numenius arquata) is one such species, with previous work on The Wash SPA suggesting extensive use of agricultural fields for both roosting and feeding through the autumn and winter. Most populations of Curlew across Europe are declining rapidly, and with many coastal areas subject to anthropogenic pressures such as fishing, wildfowl hunting, recreation, and housing and infrastructure development, there is a strong imperative to protect all habitats used by Curlews during the non-breeding season to mitigate threats to their overwinter survival and reduce sources of pressure on already threatened populations.
Drawing on extensive existing datasets, including ringing, colour-mark resighting, high spatial resolution GPS tracking and accelerometry data, the student will assess individual- and population-level movement patterns of over-wintering Eurasian Curlew (UK & Ireland). There will also be the opportunity for fieldwork, collecting information on Curlew behaviour, habitat use, social interactions, and deploying new GPS tags.
This work is crucial for understanding the spatial and temporal importance of different habitats around SPAs on a daily, seasonal and inter-annual basis. Ultimately, the outputs from this project can be used to inform conservation actions and mitigate potential threats to wintering waterbirds in the UK and beyond.
Training Opportunities
The student will have the opportunity to be based at both Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) and the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO). At LJMU, the student will be integrated into the vibrant School of Biological and Environmental Sciences and Behavioural Ecology and Physiology Research Group, and will receive a range of research development opportunities and support from the Doctoral Academy and supervisory team. The student will be expected to closely collaborate with BTO’s Wetland & Marine Research Team, who have a wealth of expertise on wintering waterbird ecology and movement data analysis. At BTO, the student will be able to network with top applied conservation researchers and benefit from development opportunities with the BTO’s science communication and engagement teams.
Student Profile
The ideal candidate will have strong analytical skills, ideally with experience working with biologging data using any of spatial analyses, resource selection or habitat use analysis, network analysis or machine learning expertise. The candidate should have strong ecological and ornithological knowledge and ideally be familiar with wader ecology. The candidate would ideally have either a Master’s or equivalent experience, and have experience in interpreting location data. The candidate should be curious and self-motivated, and should be excited about embracing the experience of being based at both Liverpool John Moores University and an applied research eNGO like BTO.
Other information
It is expected that the student would spend time based at both LJMU and BTO (Thetford office) throughout the course of the PhD, with the initial expectation this time might be more weighted towards LJMU early in the PhD, with more time at BT...

W I T H I N G T O N G I R L S ’ S C H O O L R E C R U I T M E N T P A C K : P A R T T I M E B I O L O G Y T E C H N I C I A N ABOUT WITHINGTON GIRLS’ SCHOOL Withington Girls’ School was founded in 1890 by a small group of eminent and far-sighted Manchester families who wanted the same educational opportunities to be available for their daughters as were already available to their sons. In keeping with the Founders’ wishes, the School has remained relatively small, with 756 pupils in total with 163 in the Junior School (Years 3 - 6), 429 in the Senior School (Years 7 - 11) and 164 in the Sixth Form. The Head of Withington Girls’ School is a member of both the Girls’ Schools Association (GSA) and HMC (The Heads’ Conference). Pupils come from a wide geographical area around Greater Manchester and Cheshire, and from many different social, cultural and religious backgrounds, creating a diversity in which the School rejoices. The School is non-denominational and girls of all faiths, or none, are equally welcome. Through the Withington Girls’ School Trust, around 100 means-tested bursaries are offered each year according to need. The Governing Body is strategically focused and highly supportive of all areas of the School. A FOCUS ON EXCELLENT TEACHING AND PASTORAL CARE The School’s A Level and GCSE results are outstanding, with Withington ranked consistently in national league tables as the top independent school in the North West of England. The Sunday Times’ prestigious schools guide, Parent Power, named Withington the North West Independent Secondary School of the Year 2020, 2022 and 2023 and North West Independent Secondary School of the Decade in 2021. Withington has been listed in the annual Tatler Schools Guide to the UK’s top independent schools since 2012. Girls who gain a place as a result of the entrance examination normally take GCSE/IGCSE examinations in 9/10 subjects, followed by 3 or 4 A Levels. An exciting and varied Enrichment programme offers Sixth Formers core elements such as PSHCE, financial literacy and professional skills plus a range of choices from computer coding and languages, to mosaics, mindfulness and cooking and preparing healthy meals. In addition to the Enrichment Programme, which all Sixth Formers follow, many also complete an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). Studies are directed towards encouraging a love of learning for its own sake, frequently going beyond the confines of the examined curriculum, as well as towards the ultimate goal of University entrance, including Oxford and Cambridge. The excellent quality of teaching and pastoral care is a major factor in the exceptional level of achievement secured by pupils, both within and outside the classroom. Staff are eager to share their passion and enthusiasm for their subjects and give willingly of their time to assist individual pupils outside lesson times; the relationship between pupils and staff is a particular strength of the School. The School runs on ‘the 3 Rs’ of Respect for self, Respect for others, and Responsibility for personal actions and its pupils thrive within the warm, friendly and supportive environment. Preparation for life after school starts early and involves a programme of careers advice, work experience and UCAS application guidance. Older pupils work with younger pupils in numerous ways, through the House system, extra-curricular activities, peer support and mentoring. A BREADTH OF ACTIVITIES Academic excellence is secured alongside an extensive range of extra- curricular opportunities, including Music, Drama, Sport, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, Young Enterprise Scheme, Model United Nations, Debating and Robotics Clubs, to name but a few. Sixth Formers volunteer as assistants in local primary schools, residential homes, hospices and hospitals.

Parks Cleansing Operative
Company Description
Established as an independent charity in 1992, The Parks Trust expertly cares for over 6,000 acres of beautiful and inspirational green space in Milton Keynes including parks, ancient woodlands, lakes, river valleys and 80 miles of landscaped areas along the city’s grid roads.
In most towns and cities, parkland is owned by the local authority, but Milton Keynes’ founders were pioneers and decided to do things differently. Their vision was to create a new town where the parkland and landscapes would be protected forever by a charity that was separate from local government. Doing so would ensure that, as the new town grew, its green spaces would never be compromised or have to fight for funding.
That all became a reality when The Parks Trust was set up in 1992. The new charity was given a 999-year lease on a total of 4,500 acres of Milton Keynes and an endowment of property valued at £20m. Returns on these carefully managed investments generate the primary source of income required to fund the charity’s wide-ranging work today and forever.
Over 100 staff and 240 volunteers deliver the essential work of The Parks Trust. In addition to landscaping and maintenance tasks, that also includes providing valuable recreation and leisure facilities, connecting communities at over 500 outdoor events each year, and advancing public education around the wildlife, biodiversity, and the environment.
As Milton Keynes grows, so does The Parks Trust. Each year, the charity takes on new green spaces and endowments from developers to cover costs in perpetuity. This approach ensures that all new areas of the city benefit from the same quality of inspiring, connected landscape and Milton Keynes remains a great place to live, work and play.
Position
Become a Parks Cleansing Operative at The Parks Trust to help keep Milton Keynes’ parks and green spaces clean for all to enjoy.
