About this position
An exciting PhD opportunity is available at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS), University of Tasmania.
The project addresses how climate change is altering marine ecosystems and the processes that support fisheries productivity, with a focus on giant crab and southern rock lobster populations in Tasmania.
The successful PhD candidate will assess climate vulnerability, model larval connectivity and recruitment, examine how future climate conditions may alter these processes, and evaluate the resulting effects on stock trajectories.
This is a strong fit for applicants interested in marine science, fisheries science, quantitative ecology, statistical modelling, spatial modelling, and simulation modelling. The project offers a real-world fisheries challenge with direct relevance to climate adaptation and sustainable fisheries management.
The project will be based at IMAS Taroona and supervised by Dr Rafael León, with co-supervision by Dr Klaas Hartmann and Dr Katie Creswell. The opportunity is open to domestic and international applicants.
Interested candidates should follow the application link for further details and submission instructions.
