PhD Scholarship in Ocean Carbon Flux Modelling.
Centre for Fisheries Ecosystems Research (CFER), Fisheries & Marine Institute, Memorial University.
The Centre for Fisheries Ecosystems Research (CFER) is seeking a PhD Student to estimate carbon fluxes in the Northwest Atlantic from Earth system and ecosystem models.
This position is part of Transforming Climate Action, a seven-year, $397 million collaboration among Dalhousie University, Laval University, Université du Québec à Rimouski, and Memorial University. The largest research theme within Transforming Climate Action is Reducing Uncertainties in Carbon Cycling in the Northwest Atlantic Seas (Uncertain Seas).
The goal of Uncertain Seas is to better constrain the role of the ocean in the Earth's climate system by reducing uncertainties with physical and biogeochemical processes that control the global ocean carbon cycle. The focus is on the Northwest Atlantic gateway as a major contributor to ocean carbon uptake and sequestration, particularly with respect to the biological carbon pump.
As part of Transforming Climate Action, there will be opportunities to participate in workshops with other graduate students from the four institutions. There will also be opportunities for research visits to collaborating labs and conference travel. There may be opportunities to participate in research expeditions, although this is not a requirement.
The student will be enrolled in the PhD in Fisheries Science graduate program at the Fisheries & Marine Institute, Memorial University.
St. John's, NL, Canada.
$30,000 CAD (18,604 €)/year for four years.
Please send a cover letter explaining your relevant experience to, and interest in, the project, CV with academic references (contact information, reference letters not required), and university transcripts to Dr. Tyler Eddy at tyler.eddy@mi.mun.ca. If you have an interest in one of the four project areas, please elaborate in your cover letter.
