Research Fellow: Coral population genetics.
 The ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies and the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) have common interests in research that promotes the future sustainability of coral reefs. As part of this collaboration, we are seeking to appoint a joint postdoctoral fellow to pursue research in the population genetics of corals on the Great Barrier Reef, and the evolutionary responses of wild corals to recurrent episodes of thermal bleaching due to climate extremes. Suitable areas of focus include genetic modelling, evolutionary theory, genomics, geneflow and meta-population dynamics. The joint appointment will provide the candidate with the freedom to develop a research program linked to the broad objectives of the position that suits their interests and expertise.
Applicants must possess a PhD in a relevant area, and have a strong publication record. The successful applicant must have demonstrated the ability to conduct and publish research independently and as part of a team.

Research Fellow: People and Ecosystems
The vision of the ARC Centre is to provide the scientific knowledge necessary for understanding the world's coral reefs and their interaction with people in order to foster their sustainable use, secure the benefits they provide to tropical societies and economies, and enhance the effectiveness of coral reef management world-wide. An employment opportunity for an outstanding early to mid-career Research Fellow is now available for a three year appointment. We are seeking people with broad areas of expertise which would contribute to the following research theme of the Centre:
People and Ecosystems: The key objective of this program is to improve the governance and management of natural systems and to enhance our capacity to sustain both human and natural capital. We are seeking to transcend the disciplinary constraints of the biological, oceanographic, geochemical, anthropological, economic and policy sciences, to create an exciting research agenda that focuses on the local and global resilience of coral reefs from both social and biological perspectives.
Applicants must possess a PhD in a relevant area, and have a strong publication record. The successful applicant must have demonstrated the ability to conduct and publish research independently and as part of a team.
