SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL BIODIVERSITY INSTITUTE (SANBI) MARINE PHD BURSARY APPLICATION ELIGIBILITY
Applications are invited for a PhD candidate to join the SANBI Biodiversity Research, Assessment and Monitoring Division to support research under Work package 4 (Benthic Mapping) of the Mission Atlantic Project. The bursary will cover three years or less if there are suitable existing candidates who have made progress on their post-graduate studies in this context. The student must register at a South African University. Collaboration with other institute(s) in the Mission Atlantic work packages are also encouraged.
Requirements:
Candidates must qualify for a PhD in the field of marine biodiversity with a willingness to focus on Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VME’s) and predictive modelling of any VME species.
A PhD proposal must be developed that will help advance the knowledge base and methodology for the identification, classification, mapping, modelling and management of VME’s in South Africa. A willingness to engage in predictive modelling in a local and international context is essential. Knowledge of the local context in terms of potential VME indicators and eco-certification application are advantageous.
The bursary is open to South African students who qualify to register for a PhD at a South African University.
Applicants must be able to demonstrate an ability to undertake research and synthesise literature and potential data sources through demonstrated research experience.
Research Areas:
Through the PhD bursary, we hope to develop local capacity in the identification, classification, mapping, modelling and management of VME’s. This could benefit South Africa and may support regional Fisheries Management Organisations. The successful candidate is encouraged to develop international collaborations through opportunities provided by the Mission Atlantic consortium.
