Below you can find the PhD subjects that are not eligible for Erasmus Mundus funding. You will not be able to apply for one of these subjects to obtain Erasmus Mundus funding during the application phase. But in case you are able to secure funding on your own initiative, you might be interested in these subjects. The supervisors are open to accept candidates, in case the candidates already found funding.

• MARES_14_01: Driven to distraction: Behavioural consequences of noise pollution across multiple contexts in the European hermit crab
  • Research fields:
    • T5 - Ocean noise pollution
  • Mobility:
    • Host institute 1: P7 - University of Plymouth
    • Host institute 2: P4 - Galway Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT)
    • Host institute 3: In addition to the two proposers, the Doctoral Guidance Committee will be completed by a third supervisor from a University external to the MARES partnership. Dr. Andy Radford from Bristol University has recently worked on the effects of ship noise on the behaviour of Carcinus maenas, and will contribute invaluable expertise in the use of sound recording and playback required by this project. Note that Bristol University will be a non-degree awarding partner.
