THE TEAM

The Lincoln Swan project

Dr. Jenny Dunn

School of Life Sciences, University of Lincoln

I lead the colour ringing element of the Lincoln Swan project, and my background is in avian ecology and conservation. My research focusses on bird-parasite interactions, and I am interested in how ecological variables affect swan health and parasite infection.

Dr. Laëtitia Maréchal

School of Psychology, University of Lincoln

My research focuses on understanding human-animal interactions to improve both human safety and animal welfare, and I am particularly interested in finding out more about human-swan interactions!

We are keen to hear from highly motivated potential MSc by Research, PhD or Postdoc candidates
