■ Fundamentals of primary production: synthesis of relevant observations and testing of alternative global models for natural ecosystem and crop productivity
■ Global water resources assessment: coupling river routing and land-surface process models for present and future applications
■ Large-scale data analysis of quantitative plant traits as a basis for a new generation of dynamic global vegetation models
Candidates should have a good undergraduate degree with first class honors or equivalent, in a relevant subject. Students with physical science backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply. Demonstrated aptitude for independent research (eg. a good Masters project), and quantitative and computational skills, are required.
Prospective applicants should, in the first instance, submit a cover letter detailing relevant experience, a CV and an academic transcript to the principal supervisor: Professor Colin Prentice, email: colin.prentice@mq.edu.au telephone: +61 2 9850 4227
