The Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies is contacting people who might be interested in applying for an ARC Future Fellowship. The ARC Centre has recruited 38 full-time research fellows in the past 3 years, working in many fields relevant for coral reefs (e.g. biophysical sciences, climate change, conservation planning, economics, social science, modelling).

The Centre is a world-leader in coral reef research (see http://www.coralcoe.org.au/annualreport08.pdf) with nodes at four Australian Universities. James Cook University and the ARC Centre will host the 12th International Coral Reef Symposium in Australia in 2012.
