POSTDOCS
We currently have two Postdoctoral Research Fellow positions available in the Global Ecology Lab, contributing directly to the Global Ecosystems Atlas Initiative. These positions are advertised on Seek and on the JCU Careers Page, follow the links to apply.
If you wish to apply for a competitive research fellowship, such as an ARC DECRA Fellowship, we would be happy to discuss opportunities for developing and conducting this type of fellowship within our group at JCU.
PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
* JCU has recently enabled domestic PhD scholarship applications to be submitted at any time during the year by domestic candidates, which allow much more flexibility with PhD start date. Please contact Nick to discuss potential projects.
We have a range of ongoing opportunities to conduct graduate research in our lab. We typically focus on recruiting post-graduate students keen to focus on applied remote sensing, understanding threatened marine, coastal and terrestrial ecosystems, species movement and migration, and status assessments of biodiversity.
Some potential projects that would be suitable to develop in our lab include:
The changing drivers of coastal ecosystem change and new opportunities for conservation.
Advancing global-scale remote sensing to meet conservation needs.
Detecting ecosystem degradation and restoration from space.
Global barriers of tidal inundation.
Quantitative methods in ecosystem distribution mapping.
Fine-scale detection of coastal wetland change in South-east Asia.
Developing new performance measures of nature-based coastal defenses.
Forecasting coastal change: connecting spatial simulations to earth observation.
We also welcome your own ideas for your PhD project.
Read more about PhD scholarships on the JCU Graduate Research School website (for domestic and international candidates).
If you are interested in conducting honours, masters or PhD research in our lab, contact Nicholas Murray with a CV and short statement of your research interests.
