Hi, I am a BSc zoology graduate and have just started searching for a PhD in the above subjects but I really have no idea where to begin (I have had no luck in the various search engines). My aim is to find one that allows me to travel overseas, preferably to Africa (I know these are few and far between!). If anyone could give me some advice on which unis specialise in the above or where is best to start etc, I would really appreciate the help! Thanks.
I think you'll find this VERY difficult!! I have a First and a total of twelve months lab experience and lots of field/animal handling experience and I was still out-competed for conservation PhD's. I now have a fantastic PhD working with birds, but that was just total luck. Try the St. Andrews university website..they have a project working with birds in Africa but it they expect bird ringing experience and 3 years field/lab experience. Also try Southampton or Aberdeen uni's.
