Australia : Honours or PhD project at the Centre for Coastal Biogeochemistry

The Centre has Honours and PhD research scholarship top-ups available and we are seeking suitable researchers to join our highly successful team.

We have a range of exciting research projects , some in collaboration with industry and government, and some with international collaborators.

Why undertake an Honours or PhD project at the Centre for Coastal Biogeochemistry

• Working as part of a team of senior researchers, post-doctoral researchers, PhD students and research assistants.
• Access to brand new world-class inorganic and organic laboratories, including a new stable isotope facility with some of the only instrumentation of its type in Australia.
• Well resourced projects as the CCB has significant ARC and Industry funding.
• Some of the projects involve world-leading international collaborators from Netherlands, Denmark and Greenland.
• Gaining experience with the use of cutting-edge techniques such as stable isotope tracers, biomarkers, biogeochemical process measurements, microsensors, planar optodes and modelling.
• The opportunity to address significant problems that coastal ecosystems face such as eutrophication, oligotrophication, exotic species and climate change.
• The option to work in a variety of different coastal environments including estuaries, seagrass beds, mangroves, near-shore coastal waters and coral reefs.
• The option to work on projects in northern NSW, SE QLD, Tasmania, Far North QLD , Heron Island (Great Barrier Reef), Cook Islands (Pacific Ocean) and Greenland.
• Get out of the city rat-race. Southern Cross University is based at Lismore in northern NSW, Australia. The region is a great place to live with a sub-tropical climate, some of the best beaches and surfing spots in the world and there are also great fishing, scuba diving, and wilderness areas nearby. The quality of life is very high and the cost of living relatively low making the Scholarships worth more in real terms.

Interested applicants should contact Prof. Bradley Eyre bradley.eyre@scu.edu.au (02 66203773) to discuss potential projects and the application process for Scholarships. Applications close 31st October.
