The Jersey Bat Group and Bat Conservation Trust are looking for a post-grad student or intern to develop a call library for Jersey species of bat.

It will be the responsibility of the individual(s) to identify roost sites, confirm ID through DNA and/or in hand identification, observe commuting routes to and from the roost sit and collect search phase echolocation recordings of known species on identified commuting routes, where possible

Call libraries provide reference calls for the development of automated classifiers to facilitate large scale acoustic monitoring projects, test classifier performance and serve as a reference material for education.

National Trust for Jersey are looking for a BSc, MSc student to work as a summer intern, temp or on a contract basis (depending on experience and availability to conduct a survey into the grazing opportunities for Jersey's farm animals onto semi-natural habitat or currently unmanaged, permanent grasslands.

The candidate would need to conduct a baseline survey looking at structure, key species, abundance and distribution, and to set up a monitoring project to be continued by future students or others. They would have the opportunity to work on individual projects, such as the one at Sorrel Point designed to improve the condition of coastal and heathland areas in Jersey.

A post-grad student or intern is required to carry out comparative studies of the extent and depth of dune blowouts. J Attrill made measurements in 2015 - they created a map that showed sand dune blowouts at Les Blanches Banque and suggested that blowouts were increasing and so another comparative study needed with further recommendations.
