Prospective Students:

A PhD research assistantship is available within the Marine Ecology and Acoustics Lab at Florida International University. We are seeking a student to participate in an interdisciplinary project examining the environmental and oceanographic forcing on the distribution and behavior of mesopelagic micronekton through the combined use of acoustics and optics from shipborne and autonomous platforms. 

The ideal candidate would have a masters degree and demonstrated experience in related fields of ecology, oceanography, or acoustics. Ideal candidates will have strengths in data processing and analysis, experience with sampling technologies, and comfortable being at sea, 

Experience with acoustic or optical data processing and analysis are particularly desired. Additionally, experience with programming (R, Python, Matlab) is highly desired.
