In many tropical counties, wildlife is hunted for meat (i.e., ‘wild meat’) and other body parts, supporting the diets, customs, and livelihoods of millions of people. However, unsustainable hunting is one of the most urgent threats to wildlife and ecosystems worldwide and has serious implications for people whose subsistence and income are tied to wild meat. Furthermore, the demand for wild meat in urban areas contributes to the unsustainable hunting of wildlife in rural areas and remains a significant challenge to biodiversity conservation.

The candidate will join an applied conservation research group with expertise on the hunting, consumption, and trade in wildlife (hereafter referred to collectively as ‘wildlife use’), and on pangolins. Focusing on sub-Saharan Africa (particularly West and Central Africa), the candidate will conduct advanced statistical methods to identify the factors that shape wildlife use. The candidate will either focus on all species used for wild meat or on African pangolins – please note this project is about local use, not international trafficking. They will also have the opportunity to contribute to the group’s new research programme aimed at understanding wildlife use in urban areas.
