I'm currently working as a PhD Research Fellow for the University of South-Eastern Norway. I'll be using data from the Scandinavian Brown Bear Research Project (SBBRP) to gain insights in the social structure and interactions within the Swedish Brown Bear population and also include the influence of hunting practices.
