The University of Manitoba invites applications for a graduate student (Master’s and PhD) to study the use of co-produced knowledge to understand and manage subsistence marine harvests in a changing climate. This position will be located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Under the ArcticNet funded project “Using Co-Produced Knowledge to Understand and Manage Subsistence Marine Harvests in a Changing Climate” the graduate student will be part of a collaborative research team to characterize the movement of several marine species including beluga whales, Arctic char, and Greenland cod in western Canadian Arctic, largely focused in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region.
The project will draw upon both western science and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) under a co-management framework to understand beluga whale movement and activities across space, time, and life stages. The beluga whale population of study is the Eastern Beaufort Sea population. Projects will use data collected from current and past telemetry, photo surveys, local observations, and TEK spatial mapping.
Experience with geographic information system (GIS) is recommended. The position will require travel and time spent in Arctic communities.
Applicants must submit a curriculum vitae and a description of research intention via email to Lisa Loseto at Lisa.Loseto [at] dfo-mpo.gc.ca.
