PhD projects available in the Cetacean Ecology Group, University of Queensland. Australian and NZ residents preferred due to lack of international scholarships. Available projects at Associate Professor Rebecca Dunlop - UQ Researchers. EOI should include CV + academic transcript.

Seeking applications for a post-doc on using PCOD modelling to assess implications of wind farm developments on whale populations. MUST have a PhD in quantitative ecology and preferably experience in PCOD modelling. Email r.dunlop@uq.edu.au outlining your relevant experience.

Last call for volunteers

Wow, work I did during my PhD many moons ago is still relevant today! However, the work we all did points towards a simple answer- yes - why is this debate still ongoing?

There are only 14 counties in the world that offer full legal rights to women. The US is not one of them. Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands weforum.org/agenda/2023/03…

When women's leadership development programs are deployed in the absence of a broader effort to advance women & w/o accountability from leaders, they can send a message that women are deficient, need fixing or are unable to compete w/ men. @davidgsmithphd hbr.org/2023/03/where-…

VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED FOR A BEHAVIOURAL RESPONSE STUDY ON HUMPBACK WHALES IN AUSTRALIA. We are seeking EOIs from volunteers for a six-week study on humpback whales from September 3 to October 15 this year (2023). For further details: facebook.com/CetaceanEcolog…

Who made this?

Huzzah! A huge congratulations to the newly minted DR Leonie Huijser @LeonieHuijser , the latest member of the @CEG_UQ to be doctored. Well done Leo. Awesome work on bottlenose dolphin population structure in Moreton Bay. @BecDunlop @UQscience

Male whales are undertaking social evolution in real time bit.ly/3ICAwWc

🐋 Research by #UQ's @BecDunlop shows male whales along Australia’s eastern seaboard are giving up singing to attract a mate, switching instead to fighting off the competition. @UQscience tinyurl.com/2e76wx52

GBRMPA has just advertised 30+ jobs in #marinescience, management & policy. Entry level project officers up to Assistant Directors, approximately $60-120k/year. Applications close early March. #greatbarrierreef www2.gbrmpa.gov.au/careers

Australian humpback whales are singing less and fighting more. Should we be worried? theconversation.com/australian-hum… via @ConversationEDU

Hands down my favourite bird.

Happy #WomenInScience Day! Let’s smash stereotypes, defy gender bias and defeat discrimination that holds women and girls back in Science, Tech, Engineering, Math and Medicine. 👩‍🔬👩‍🚀 Are you with us?

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 🎉 Today we celebrate women in STEM, but also reflect on the progress over past decades to increase women's retention in STEM careers. There's still a LOT of work ahead. Read more:  instagram.com/p/CohzsiLtjSn/… #WomenScienceDay
