Subject: [MARMAM] Gulf Apex Predator prey seeking graduate student for Fall
2012

 

April 12, 2012



The University of Alaska Fairbanks Gulf Apex Predator-prey project
(http://seagrant.uaf.edu/map/gap/index.php) is seeking an MSc student to
work with existing humpback and fin whale population and foraging data.
There is some flexibility as to the exact project, but will involve sighting
histories, stable isotope signatures, and prey distribution. The student's
project will require no additional fieldwork, but there will likely be
opportunities to participate in on-going GAP related field projects. 

 

Knowledge of or experience with marine mammal biology, statistics, GIS and
stable isotope ecology ideal, but not required.  

 

Support in the form of tuition and a stipend is provided for the first year
of the program only. The student, with assistance from faculty advisor, will
be required to secure any additional funding required until project
competition. 

 

The student will pursue an MSc in Oceanography or Marine Biology through the
School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences. Program specifics are described
here:

Please submit a letter of interest and a CV to Dr. Bree Witteveen
[log in to unmask] Due to UAF application deadlines, applications
will only be considered until April 23rd, 2012.
