The project entitled MOCHA: "Multi-study OCean acoustics Human effects Analysis" is a large, <br>international collaborative project with the funded posts based within CREEM at the University of St Andrews. The research is funded by the United States Office of Naval Research.<br> <br>There is currently great concern about the impacts of man-made noise in the oceans on marine fauna. Behavioural Response Studies (BRSs) are experiments aimed at directly quantifying the relationship between potential anthropogenic disturbances and their effect on the behaviour of specific marine mammals. The United States Navy is making a substantial investment in BRS studies, aimed at understanding the effect of active sonar on species of concern. Despite the difficulties of conducting such experiments in the field and analysing such complex data, we believe that substantial progress can be made to enhance the inferences drawn from existing and future BRS data. We will achieve this by bringing together researchers undertaking BRS studies and statisticians specializing in the analysis of biological experiments of this kind in a working group format, with dedicated researcher effort between group meetings.</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:115%'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#2A2A2A'><br>We require two post-doctoral researchers to work within this project.

style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>The successful appointee will undertake innovative research to improve estimates on the potential for climate-driven coral range shifts in tropical to sub-tropical coral reef populations from Australia. The successful appointee will undertake research on corals and their symbionts, to provide a new framework for predicting the responses of eastern Australian coral reef communities to anthropogenic climate change over latitudinal gradients. The Fellow will use an innovative approach of interdisciplinary research that integrates genetic, ecological, and experimental aspects in a whole-organismal setting (coral plus symbionts) to be able to place this work in the context of process-based testable ecological theory. The successful applicant will redress the lack of baseline ecological information on high-latitude coral-symbiont communities, and discover how biological processes shape coral species distributions and influence the potential for climate-induced range shifts.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='line-height:115%'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='line-height:115%'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>The successful applicant will contribute to all aspects of the Marine Palaeoecology Lab in the School of Biological Sciences, University of Queensland.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='line-height:115%'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='line-height:115%'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>The successful appointee will have access to the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, and will be encouraged to apply for his/her own research funding.

We offer four specific internships: Wildlife Patrol, Sea Turtle Patrol, Environmental Educator, and Kayak Guide/Environmental Educator positions. The Bald Head Island Conservancy Intern Program is open to rising juniors, seniors or recent graduates from any accredited college or university, with majors in biology, marine biology, environmental science, education, or a related course of study. </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ecxmsobodytext style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ecxmsobodytext style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#2A2A2A'>Bald Head Island is part of a 12,000-acre island complex (Smith Island Complex) located at the mouth of the Cape Fear River in southeastern North Carolina, and consists of three forested peninsulas interconnected by a continuous beach strand: Bluff, Middle and Bald Head Islands. Bald Head Island features an upscale residential community of approximately 1,100 homes, with approximately 200 permanent year-round residents. The southern tip of the complex is Cape Fear, and includes ten miles of ocean beach. The island is accessible by a private passenger ferry from Southport, NC. </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ecxmsobodytext style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ecxmsonormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#2A2A2A'>Funding for this internship is provided by Bald Head Island Conservancy, Inc. (the Conservancy), a non-profit organization formed in 1983. The Conservancy's mission is three-fold: conserving and preserving the natural resources of the Smith Island Complex and surrounding waters; providing quality environmental education for island residents and visitors; facilitating scientific research of benefit to the environmental resources of the area. As a part of this mission, the Conservancy operates a nationally recognized Sea Turtle Protection Program, and is the only non-governmental agency in North Carolina allowed to conduct flipper tagging of sea turtles. Because of the Conservancy's long-standing commitment to this conservation program, Bald Head Island is used by U.S. Fish and Wildlife as an index beach for sea turtle nesting activity. </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ecxmsonormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ecxmsocommenttext style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#2A2A2A'>In addition, the Conservancy provides diverse educational programs and activities for the island community, and serves as an environmental monitor for the island ecosystems. Within a campus at the east end of the island, the Conservancy's facilities include a modern four bedroom "dorm" (used to house the naturalist, summer interns, and visiting researchers), the Barrier Island Study Center, an education center, and the gift shop Turtle Central, which underwrites much of the Conservancy's operation. In addition, the Conservancy owns a 21-acre nature preserve on Middle Island, and employs a permanent staff of 9 and a part time staff of 2. This internship is intended to give undergraduates not only environmental education experience, but also experience in working at a small non-profit organization. While the majority of the summer will be spent assisting with camps and various educational programs, interns will also work at Turtle Central, staff BHIC's information center, and help with other various office-oriented projects (such as mail pickup and envelope stuffing). Interns will also conduct individual research projects that match their interests. Little scientific research has been conducted on the island apart from that focused on sea turtles. The research projects will not only benefit the student, but also provide the island, residents and researchers with invaluable knowledge of the island and its inhabitants. Students will be expected to complete the research project and present the results to the community at the end of the summer. In addition students are encouraged to write a proposal for future research in the format of the NSF's Graduate Research Fellowship.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ecxmsocommenttext style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ecxmsonormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#2A2A2A'>The term of the environmental education intern is for a period of three months: from mid-May to mid-August, subject to undergraduate academic schedules. Interns should be able to arrive on BHI on the weekend of May 12/13, though a day or two of flexibility may be allowed depending on academic exam schedules and be able to stay until August 13, give or take a day. Applicants who have graduated may have the chance to extend their stay, as we typically extend employment of one intern through the fall. Arrival in mid-May provides for a training period of approximately two weeks prior to the start of actual educational duties on the island. The education intern serves at the will of the Conservancy, and the positions may be terminated by the Conservancy at any time. </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ecxmsonormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ecxmsonormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#2A2A2A'>The stipend to be paid for the recipients of the Bald Head Island Conservancy internship shall be $1,200 per summer, paid monthly; this amount is pre-tax.
