Hi
I have just completed an MSc in Animal Behaviour and I am now hoping to get a funded PhD in the same field. I realise how competitive it is to get onto PhDs and there doesn't seem to be many animal behaviour ones around. I therefore figured I need to get some more experience or a research assistant job.
Does anyone have any advice for getting animal behaviour placements? I really want to get some active research under my belt and maybe my name on some published papers! I would love to do these abroad. I'm really interested in anti predator behaviour, language, cooperation, theory of mind, tool use and mental time travel (particularly in primates).
Any help would be very much appreciated!!
Thanks
