Marine Ecosystem Researcher for Blue Economy Development
4 weeks ago
Griffith University invites applications for a PhD scholarship to support the development of offshore renewable energy and other activities in the Blue Economy through environmental characterisation.
The primary focus of this role is method development for incorporating hydroacoustic (echosounder) datasets into marine spatial planning. This project includes data analysis, mathematical modelling, and ecological application of analytical results. Success in this role requires collaboration with Echoview Software and the Blue Economy CRC.
About the ProjectThe aim of this study is to develop methods that harness the power of hydroacoustic instruments (echosounders) to provide better ecological information for use in marine spatial planning (MSP). Marine renewable energy and offshore aquaculture are rapidly growing sectors of the blue economy with important roles to play in increasing seafood production and energy security, as well as combatting climate change.
Careful planning and effective monitoring strategies are needed to ensure the blue economy is developed sustainably in Australia and globally, without adverse impacts on the marine environment. MSP is an integrated framework that can support the ongoing functioning of the marine environment alongside blue economy development and other human activities.
The successful student will be based in the School of Environment and Science, working with the Marine Spatial Planning research team and others involved in Blue Economy CRC research at Griffith and at our research partners. The opportunity is based at the Gold Coast campus.
About the ScholarshipThe 2025 Griffith University Postgraduate Research Scholarship has an annual stipend of $34,752 (indexed) for a period of up to three years of full-time study. A successful International applicant will also be awarded a Griffith University International Postgraduate Research Scholarship to cover tuition fees for up to three years.
This scholarship provides an exceptional opportunity to undertake cutting-edge research in the field of marine spatial planning and contribute to the sustainable development of the blue economy. If you have a strong background in ecology, mathematics, or a related field, and a passion for applying scientific knowledge to real-world problems, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
