Scholarship details
We are pleased to announce that applications for a PhD scholarship at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, which includes full funding, are now being accepted. The successful candidate will be supervised by Dr. Alice Clement and Prof. John Long while they work on the ARC-funded project entitled “The Devonian Gogo Fauna: Diversity, Palaeoecology, and Global Significance.”
This project will identify the total Gogo biota diversity using new and undescribed material in order to reconstruct the ancient reef ecosystem, determine its trophic hierarchies using direct evidence from stomach contents, and test the resilience of the reef ecosystem to change, based on comparisons to other fossil and modern reef faunas in Australia and elsewhere. Specifically, this project will identify the total diversity of the Gogo biota. This is a one-of-a-kind effort that brings together specialists in vertebrate and invertebrate palaeontology to work together on a holistic solution to the challenge employing the full fauna. The student will receive the chance to travel to view additional Gogo material in museum collections in Perth and Melbourne, as well as perform fieldwork and share the results of their study at both national and international conferences.
