[Coral-List] Two PhD scholarships on coral population dynamics and temperature effect on coral growth

[Juan Ortiz]

We have two full PhD scholarships to work as part of the EcoRRAP component of the program. EcoRRAP focuses on investigating the intrinsic functioning of coral reefs with a strong focus on understanding post disturbance dynamics. The two scholarships will be working as part of a multi-disciplinary team trying to understand the mechanism driving reef dynamics. In particular one of the scholarships will be focused on evolutionary biology of corals with an emphasis on the relationship between temperature and growth. The second scholarship will be focused on coral population dynamics and spatial ecology based on 3D imagery. Interested applicants please contact Juan Ortiz j.ortiz at aims.gov.au<mailto:j.ortiz at aims.gov.au> regarding the temperature-growth scholarship and Renata Ferrari Legorreta rferrari at aims.gov.au<mailto:rferrari at aims.gov.au> regarding the population dynamics and spatial ecology scholarship.
