open: the evolutionary ecology of sessile marine invertebrates
A PhD position is open to students interested in working on the
evolutionary ecology of sessile marine invertebrates in Prof Dustin
Marshall's group (<http://www.meeg.org>www.meeg.org). The group's
research ranges from quantitative genetics to community ecology and
most projects are field based with a heavy empirical component. The
specifics of the project will be determined by joint collaboration
between student and supervisor.
After an expression of interest, approved applicants would be
required to apply for a scholarship and tuition waiver through Monash
University by April 15th. Note that the success of such applications
is not assured and the application process is extremely competitive,
students without at least one first author publication in an
international journal (in the topic or of ecology or evolution) will
not be considered. The stipends include all course fees plus ~$25,000
AUD per annum tax-free (the equivalent of approx. $33,000 before tax)
with no teaching requirements for 3.5 years (the length of a Ph.D. in
Australia).
Should the applicant be successful, the funding of project costs and
research support including the costs of attending at least one
conference per year will be provided by the research group.
Project start dates must be before June 30 2014.
Interested applicants should send an expression of interest, their
CVs, a brief statement of a potential research project and the
contact details of two referees to
<mailto:[email protected]>[email protected]
To be eligible, applicants must have completed at least one year of
post-graduate research in ecology or evolution.
Preference will be given to those with strong quantitative skills.
