PhD Studentship: Theoretical marine ecology and biocomplexity
Dear Colleagues, Please forward the ad below to whoever might be interested. Many thanks! Axel ===================================================================== PhD Studentship Theoretical marine ecology and biocomplexity: investigating the structure and dynamics of marine-community interaction networks. This PhD project in mathematical biology is part of a larger effort to strengthen the theoretical basis of the "Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management" (EAFM), fully funded by the Irish Government (under the Beaufort Marine Award Scheme). The prestigious 'Beaufort Research Scholarship' will be based in the School of Biological Sciences at Queens University Belfast in Northern Ireland; it will run for three years fully funded! and is available without restrictions on nationality. The aim is to develop recent theoretical advances (regarding food-webs as dynamic, complex interaction-networks) into management-relevant insights. This will involve adapting existing numerical models into forms directly comparable with real marine ecosystems and generalising model results by mathematical analyses to find the mechanisms determining system structure and dynamics (we can be flexible about(Continue reading)
