Opportunities

Welcome!

If you’re interested in working together, get in touch! I’ll list some open opportunities here, but I’m always willing to chat about ways to pursue working together and getting you funding if our work intersects.

Otherwise, see below for possible avenues for working together:

PhD opportunity in badger ecology

I am seeking a PhD student to start in March 2026, to work on badger behaviour, ecology, and bovine tuberculosis infection. The project is funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, and aims to understand badger demography in the face of tuberculosis interventions in Ireland. See the advert here! (deadline: November 15th 2025).

Research Ireland Funding

There are a series of PhD and postdoctoral funding options available in Ireland, some of which require having a candidate (you?) identified. They fund a wide range of fundamental and applied topics, and I have plenty of ideas and capacity to help write applications. If that sounds good, get in touch!

Verena Fellows-in-Residence

If you have an idea for a short research project relevant to host-virus networks or the macroecology of disease, consider the Verena Fellows-in-residence grants. They provide an honorarium to carry out ~6-12 months of work, and they’re a great way to catalyse some collaboration.
