The Lincoln Swan project
Dr. Jenny Dunn
School of Life Sciences, Keele University
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 to be based either at Keele University or in Lincoln
