Subject: [EXTERN] Advertising 2 Aussie bumblebee PhD positions to
IUSSI CE members<br>

<br>
Hello,<br>
<br>
My name is James Makinson, I am a research fellow at the
Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment, Western Sydney
University, Australia.<br>
<br>
I'm currently trying to recruit two PhD students to study the
ecology of the invasive Bombus terrestris population in Australia
as part of a new Hort Innovation grant titled "Progress on bumble
bees as commercial pollinators in Australia: update on risks and
opportunities (PH23001)". The goal of the project is to use radio
tracking and neuromorphic AI powered camera traps to collect
unbiased data on the impacts of these bees on Tasmanian
agricultural systems and ecosystems. This data will be used to
assist Tasmanian industry and government stakeholders with
decision-making about both supporting and/or eradicating local
populations of the bees in the island state.<br>
<br>
I was wondering whether you could share the advert link below
and/or attached flier among the IUSSI Central European Section
email list, or with any students you think might be interested in
the opportunity:<br>

<br>
The deadline for applications is Saturday next week, the 30th of
November.<br>
