10. Post-doc position, University of Queensland
Brisbane, Australia
Post-doctoral scientist to develop reef carbonate budgets for the Great
Barrier Reef
Most ecological functions of coral reefs are founded on their ability to
maintain the production of a reef framework (i.e., that processes of
reef bioconstruction exceed those of erosion). It is important to know
how local management actions, as well as global action to mitigate
greenhouse gas emissions, can influence the ability of reefs to function
in future. To do this, we need to create models of the ecosystem that
integrate a wealth of experimental and observational research. A
position is available to work on this challenge for reefs in the
Pacific, including the GBR and Palau. The position is initially
advertised for 1 year but an extension may become feasible..
The position is based at The University of Queensland, in Brisbane,
Australia. The applicant would join a diverse research group and take a
lead in developing new ecological models (see
www.marinespatialecologylab.org
<http://www.marinespatialecologylab.org/> There is also substantial
opportunity to contribute to on-going collaborations with researchers at
AIMS, Griffith University, JCU, and the University of Exeter (UK).
The successful applicant will have a PhD in a relevant topic. Topics
could include ecosystem modelling, empirical research on impacts of
ocean acidification on on coral reefs, biogeochemistry of coral reefs,
carbonate budgets. Applicants are welcome to apply who have no modelling
experience providing they're willing to learn (it isn't that difficult!).
Application deadline: 25th January 2014 (no internal candidate in mind).
Start date: 1st April 2014, salary ca $70,000 + benefits
For informal enquiries please contact Prof Peter Mumby
