Research Fellowship

Research Fellowship

As a Fellow for IMR, not only will you gain experience in the field working with innovative and fine-scale research techniques, but engross yourselves in the knowledge and responsibilities required to lead each component of our research project. IMRs Fellows are our leaders in the field, maintaining and developing our current research projects, processing and analyzing our data, whilst learning how to create new research questions and build a research project from the beginning. With this knowledge, our Fellows will also be key lecturers and mentors to our upcoming Research Assistants. IMR proudly creates professional and well-rounded Marine Scientists, who leave with the knowledge and confidence to develop independent research projects and work with Institutes around the world to develop and communicate our current understanding of coastal ecosystems.

In order for our Fellows to take complete leadership and responsibility over each of our research projects, spaces are limited to 4 Fellows at a time. Suitable applicants must attach their Curriculum Vitae (CV) with their application form, and be available for a Skype interview.
