PhD opportunity in marine ecology at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. This project, supervised by Prof. James Bell in the School of Biological Sciences , investigates the temperate rariphotic zone (about 130–300 m depth) around New Zealand. The work focuses on the biodiversity, community structure, environmental drivers, and ecosystem functioning of these little-studied deep-reef habitats. The project will use high-definition remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to survey rariphotic ...
