Subject: PhD Scholarship - Mixed modelling strategies for coastal management
Hi all,
The University of Auckland is looking to find a suitable candidate to
conduct trans-disciplinary research in the field of coastal
management. Please forward this to all who may be
interested/suitable. Contact details and instructions on how to apply
are below.
PhD scholarship, coastal management
University of Auckland, New Zealand
A mixed modelling collaborative framework for coastal management in
Auckland, New Zealand
NIWAs Coastal OBI framework offers funding for a PhD project aimed at
contributing to collaborative science in the field of coastal
management. The PhD project will (1) conceptualise and explore
modelling strategies that might be developed to produce knowledge
about social and biophysical systems relevant to coastal management,
(2) identify a suite of coastal management problems that could
potentially be used to explore the range of knowledge and
understandings of translation issues likely to be encountered by
modellers working on coastal issues, (3) develop a simplified
contextualised mixed-modelling framework through collaborative
processes, (4) conduct an in depth investigation of one or more issues
using this framework from the perspective of making decisions that
balance different values and breath and depth of ecosystem response
and certainty in management outcomes.
The School of Environment at the University of Auckland provides an
excellent forum for trans-disciplinary research. The School has
extensive collaborative research relationships with other academic
departments within the University and with other universities both in
New Zealand and overseas, and with private and public sector
organisations. This research project is trans-disciplinary; candidates
will be requires to develop their research against a background of
social, economic and ecological sciences.
Support for the PhD project includes: a stipend of NZ$25k per annum
excluding fees (n.b. international PhD students pay the same annual
tuition fee as domestic students); an in-field research budget; a
Postgraduate Research Student Support scheme designed to facilitate
academic and professional development through conference attendance
and short term hosting by relevant science and policy institutions.
The PhD scholarship is a unique opportunity to lay a career foundation
through involvement in a major policy community, working on
internationally significant coastal policy and management questions
using innovative collaborative science approaches. The research will
be co-supervised by Professor Richard Le Heron, Dr Mark Dickson, and
Dr Karen Fisher, School of Environment, University of Auckland and Dr
Simon Thrush, Principal Scientist, NIWA.
How to apply: Potential candidates must have a first class Honours or
Masters degree (or equivalent). The nature of the research project
means that candidates from a variety of academic backgrounds may be
considered. Interested candidates should email a statement of research
intent and a CV to Dr Mark Dickson [log in to unmask] or Dr
Karen Fisher [log in to unmask] by Fri Sept 17th.
