Samantha Finnerty

Postdoctoral Research Associate - Wildlife Ecology, University of Sydney

I completed a Bachelor of Science (Hons 1) in Biology and Marine Biology in 2014 at the University of Sydney. I went on to complete a PhD under Professor Rick Shine at the same institution, researching invasive cane toads and how we can manipulate chemical cues in their larval stage in order to control their numbers. After a few years working in industry, I have returned to academia as a Research Associate under Associate Professor Catherine Herbert, looking at wildlife assistance post-bushfire, and the costs and benefits of providing food and water to animals in the wild.
