- Job Posting
M.Sc position(s) in Integrated Multi-trophic Aquacture (IMTA) Fisheries and Oceans Canada, in collaboration with the University of New Brunswick (Saint John Campus) and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, is undertaking a 5-year multi-disciplinary program of research in the field of Integrated Multi-trophic Aquaculture. One or two M.Sc. position(s) are available through the University of New Brunswick (Saint John) starting May or Sept 2010. The field of research will be to investigate energy and nutrient dispersal and scales of influence on wild species from open-water integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) sites. A key aspect of this research will be to quantify changes in wild species distribution, abundance, and life history around aquaculture sites. The IMTA project requires a motivated and skilled student who is willing to work in the field along with a multidisciplinary team of researchers. Preference will be given to candidates with skills in aquatic field sampling, identification of aquatic marine organisms, database management, and multi-variate analysis of biodiversity and life history information.
