The Institut des Sciences de la Mer (ISMER) of the Universite du Quebec
a Rimouski (UQAR) announces the availability of a scholarship for
graduate studies in microalgal systematics and polar oceanography in the
context of the International Polar Year. The research program involves a
Circumpolar Flaw Lead polynya study, primarily one identified west of
Banks Island, to examine the impacts of climate change on the coastal
Canadian Arctic. The microalgal community inhabiting the land-fast ice
beside the flaw lead polynya will be studied throughout the growth
season in winter and spring.
Graduate studies may lead to MSc or PhD degrees in oceanography. A BSc
degree in biology or environmental sciences is required to enter these
programs. Candidates may conduct research and write a thesis in French
or English and it is possible for non-French speaking candidates to take
all courses in English.
