Project Title: NatureNet: AI systems for conservation and the management of human-wildlife conflict Location: Oxford Duration: 3 Year, full-time PhD studentship Start date: September 2026 Bursary p.a.: £20,780 This studentship will cover university fees. Visas and associated costs are not covered. Project focus: Developing wildlife tracking technologies, integrating advanced AI-based analytics to create a prototype for conflict mitigation; developing a data processing pipeline for complex behavioural datasets from biologgers and autonomous monitoring units; enabling accurate movement and interaction analysis without reliance on GPS-based technology; testing the prototype in real-world conditions (involving predators and/or semi-domesticated livestock) in collaboration with local and Indigenous stakeholders (Europe, the Global South).
