The successful individual will be experienced in seabird population ecology and seabird foraging ecology and in how these life-history components are influenced by a variety of forcing factors, including by the physical environment (e.g. climate variability and oceanographic processes), other biological processes (e.g. inter- and intra- specific competition and factors affecting prey availability and predation) and anthropogenic drivers of change (e.g. fisheries interactions, including bycatch and competition). This individual should have experience of collecting data using modern electronic tracking equipment and of the constraints imposed by such methods. They should also have advanced statistical skills, including familiarity with advanced regression models which can be used to elucidat
