Looking for a PhD student in statistics

I am currently looking for a PhD student in Statistics to work on an exciting project on killer whale diving and foraging behaviour, see project_genenral_ad.pdf. Generally, I can supervise students through the Department of Statistics (see www.stat.ubc.ca/graduate for more information) and through the Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries (see oceans.ubc.ca/education/), but I am only looking for statistics students at the moment.

As a note, as I work really hard, I have high expectations and standards for my students. In addition, since I consider scientific writing a crucial aspect of science, I expect students, including students in Statistics, to write often and well.
