A Joint Program in marine science has been initiated between the University of Tasmania and CSIRO, with a focus on graduating PhD students with expertise to work in areas of marine science that require highly developed quantitative skills. The partner agencies believe that the Joint Program offers an attractive option for prospective students, nationally and internationally, with the combined research and teaching skills of the people within the two organisations providing the strongest and most diverse academic training ground for temperate and Southern Ocean marine science in Australia. The postgraduate students not only have the benefit of working in an outstanding academic institution but are also exposed to unique opportunities by working in leading edge marine research at the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Labs.
The Joint QMS Program offers excellent opportunities in research training. It is the first such program within Australia to offer specialised graduate level coursework in quantitative marine science (6 units to be taken over a period of 3 years). The Joint Program provides an unparalleled opportunity for the development of marine scientists and guarantees an interdisciplinary focus on marine research, backed up by the niche area of research expertise at the University of Tasmania and CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research. With over 100 marine science academics/researchers within the two agencies, high quality research infrastructure, a long-standing culture of collaboration, and Hobar’s international reputation as a centre of excellence in marine science, the Program offers an exciting and innovative postgraduate opportunity.
Graduates will find job opportunities within CSIRO and other research agencies, such as the Australian Antarctic Division, Geoscience Australia, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, the Bureau of Meteorology, Inland Fisheries Service, Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute (TAFI), State and Federal Government agencies dealing in marine and freshwater research. These agencies employ over 600 research scientists specialising in marine disciplines
