Ph.D. Student Opportunity

Population Connectivity / Ocean Modeling

MIT/WHOI Joint Program



We are looking for a highly motivated Ph.D. student to join a team of scientists in the Biology Department at WHOI to work on modeling marine population connectivity in a tropical ecosystem. Research will focus on developing reliable predictors of population connectivity from a range of habitat and oceanographic metrics that influence larval dispersal and settlement. A suite of tools, including a population model, a coupled biological-hydrodynamic model, and GIS-based spatial analysis will be developed. Detailed information about the MIT/WHOI Joint Program and application guidelines can be found at http://www.whoi.edu/page.do?pid=7999.

Interested applicants are encouraged to send a letter and resume detailing interests, previous research experience, and education to Dr. Julie Kellner (jkellner@whoi.edu) and Dr. Rubao Ji (rji@whoi.edu).

Additional details on the project collaborators is available at:
