Master and PhD Scholarship Marine Science and Policy Modelling, University of Maine, USA

Master Degree
The School of Marine Sciences at the University of Maine is seeking a to enroll a student as early as May or June 2010 in the dual masters degree in marine science and policy. The student will study and work on a strongly interdisciplinary research project funded by the Coupled Natural and Human Systems program within NSF. A competitive stipend, tuition, health and student fees will be provided for three years. The project combines the work of social, biological and computer scientists and will develop agent-based learning models meant to simulate the fine scale dynamics of social and natural systems in three fisheries in the Gulf of Maine.

We seek a student with training in the social sciences and knowledge of marine biology or ecology. The student must be research oriented and enthusiastic about working and learning in a multidisciplinary team. The student will participate in a set of research tasks that will include in-depth interviews and focus groups with fishermen and the translation of conceptual models into computational models. Training in computer science will be considered a plus.

PhD
The School of Marine Sciences at the University of Maine is seeking to enroll a Ph.D. student as early as May or June 2010 with a strong masters level or applied background in computer science, ecology or the social sciences and an interest in applying those skills to an integrated social-ecological study of the Gulf of Maine fisheries. Stipend, tuition, health and other fees will be funded for three years by a grant from the NSF Coupled Natural and Human Systems program.

The student will be engaged in the design and implementation of a multi-agent learning classifier system and will work closely with economists, ecologists, anthropologists and computer scientists. The ideal candidate`s skill set would include knowledge and experience in the design and implementation of programs using object based programming languages, JAVA or C++, knowledge of evolutionary computational approaches and of statistics (using R), as well as experience designing and implementing Agent Based computational models using ABM platforms such as Repast.
