Visiting PhD Researcher – Exeter Oct 2026 to Jun 2

Hi! I’m Rafael, a Brazilian PhD student looking for a room in Exeter from mid-October 2026 to mid-June 2027.

I’ll be coming to Exeter to spend part of my PhD as a visiting postgraduate researcher at the University of Exeter, through a PhD abroad fellowship from my university in Brazil. I study seabird ecology and movement, so my research involves birds, conservation and the marine environment.

I’m looking for a furnished room for the duration of my stay. As this is a relatively short-term arrangement, I’d ideally like bills included and a place with the basic household items already available.

I’m clean, tidy, respectful and easy-going, and I’m very happy to share a home and get along with housemates. Outside of research, I enjoy gardening, cycling, nature, arts, hiking and exploring new places.

I’ve been advised to look around Pennsylvania, St James Park, St Thomas and the city centre, but I’m flexible about the location as long as it has good access to the University and the city.

I’m currently in Brazil, so I’d be happy to arrange a virtual viewing/video call before moving in.

If you have a suitable room or think I might be a good fit for your household, I’d love to hear from you!
