Location: The University of New Brunswick, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada

Project Description: The Davies Lab at the University of New Brunswick in Saint John, Canada, is recruiting a new PhD student into our laboratory. The candidate will conduct research exploring statistical and numerical modeling approaches to characterizing baleen whale habitat using field data collected from novel autonomous ocean ecosystem monitoring platforms that simultaneously measure the distribution of whales, their prey and other key oceanographic variables. The student will have the opportunity to engage their modeling research in policy and management processes to advance real-world conservation efforts to save endangered whale species. Whil
