This full-time, two-year position will work with the Southampton Island
Marine Ecosystem Project (SIMEP) studying the physical and biological
processes controlling primary production in a region of the Canadian
Arctic. Fieldwork will be focused in the marine region around
Southampton Island, northwestern Hudson Bay.

This project will involve field- and laboratory-based research to
examine the processes driving primary production in the study region.
Fieldwork will be carried out on the Churchill Marine Observatory (CMO)
research vessel, a jointly operated vessel of the Arctic Research
Foundation and University of Manitoba.

The successful candidate will have a BSc honors degree, or equivalent,
in biological oceanography or a related field. Field experience on
oceanographic research vessels and a knowledge base of primary
production, such as carbon and nitrogen stable isotope tracer
techniques, will be assets for the position.

The successful student will also become a member of the Arctic Science
Partnership and the Marine Environmental Observation training program
(MEOPeer), providing national and international opportunities beyond a
standard graduate degree.

Initial applications should be sent via email to C.J. Mundy
(cj.mundy [at] umanitoba.ca) and Christine Michel
(christine.michel [at] dfo-mpo.gc.ca) and include:

  • Two letters of academic reference;
