PhD scholarship at the University of Queensland (Australia)
"Using mathematical models to understand changes in tuna fisheries in response to climate change”
Tuna fisheries are some of the biggest, most valuable and iconic globally, but are found in the marine equivalent of deserts. How the marine food web supports these productive fisheries is an open question, as is how these fisheries will respond to climate change. This project will answer these questions by modelling the global marine ecosystem from bacteria to whales using size spectrum models, based on systems of partial differential equations. The successful student needs a strong background in applied mathematics, an interest in the natural world, and a desire to solve pressing environmental problems.
The successful student will be part of the Mathematical Marine Ecology research lab at the University of Queensland. This project comes with a tuition scholarship and a living stipend of $27,596 per annum tax-free (2019 rate), indexed annually. The scholarship is for 3 years with the possibility of two 6-month extensions. Domestic and international students are welcome to apply.
Closing date is 31 October 2019.
Students will enrol through the School of Mathematics and Physics. To apply, go to graduate-school.uq.edu.au/phd-scholarships-science. For more information contact Professor Anthony J. Richardson ([log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>).
