Overview
A PhD student is sought to participate in an Australian Research Council project investigating changes to Great Barrier Reef soft-sediment communities over the past ~ 6,000 years. There is considerable latitude for you to design and implement a project that is complementary to the larger research program, although preference will be given to projects that take advantage of the sample that are being collected.
Please quote the allocation reference number 2010318 on your application form.
Project Name: Conservation Palaeoecology
Suggested areas of investigation include:
■ Time-averaging and stratigraphic order in organisms from the <>4 mm size fraction discussed in Kosnik et al. 2009.
■ The effects of bioturbation and sedimentary processes on the preservation of palaeoecological assemblages
■ Changes in crustacean / molluscan / diatom / foram communities through time
■ Latitudinal gradients in molluscan community diversity and predation intensity along the east coast of Australia
Applicants should have a strong academic record with demonstrated capacity for conducting independent research (eg. First Class Honours, Masters or publication record) in a relevant discipline such as palaeontology, ecology, invertebrate biology or marine science / geology. You must be able to work within a team and should have high level written and oral communication skills. Previous experience working in marine environments is highly desirable. A current drivers license, experience in handling small boats and research diving would be advantageous.
Prospective applicants should, in the first instance, submit a cover letter addressing the essential and desirable criteria, a one-page statement of your research interests and goals, a CV that includes contact details for two referees, and an academic transcript to the principal supervisor: Dr Matthew Kosnik, email: matthew.kosnik@mq.edu.au
The 2011 MQRES full-time stipend rate is $22,860 pa tax exempt for 3.5 years.
Application deadline: 31 January.
Applicants will need to complete a candidature/scholarship application form and arrange for two academic referee reports to be submitted to the Higher Degree Research Office. Refer to: http://www.hdr.mq.edu.au/information_about/applications for further application instructions. Macquarie University will advise the successful applicant of entitlements at the time of scholarship offer.
