Vacancies
Vacancies and opportunities to study or work with the Otter Project.
Master's research projects
We always welcome enquiries from students looking for postgraduate research opportunities.
Cardiff University offers a Master of Research (MRes) in Biosciences, which is open for applications until July each year. There is an initial taught programme of key research skills, followed by an eight month individual research project. We would love to hear from anyone interested in doing research with the Otter Project as part of this Master's.
Cardiff University also offers a (taught) Master of Science in Global Ecology and Conservation, with an intake in September each year. Students will carry out an individual research project focusing on a specific area of ecology and/or conservation, and we welcome students to join our Otter Project team for this research. The projects usually run from May until September, after the four core taught modules are completed.
For details on how to apply, visit the Bioscience (MRes) page or the MSc in Global Ecology and Conservation page.
