CMS is a collaboration between UTAS and CSIRO, composed of a Director, a Deputy Director, an Executive Support Officer, and researchers and students from across a wide variety of disciplines and institutions. CMS is overseen by a Steering Committee.
Members
CMS includes researchers from across a variety of disciplines and institutions.
Our Steering Committee is composed of members from CSIRO, and the different institutions and schools within the University of Tasmania that form part of CMS, as well as a representative from AAD, and two independent representatives from government and industry.
CMS alumni are CMS students who have finished their degrees. Many are employed in different roles in academia, government and industry, but some are now early career researchers affiliated to the centre.
Providing excellence in research and research training
The Centre for Marine Socioecology (CMS) was officially opened in November 2014 with joint funding from CSIRO and the University of Tasmania to appoint three research fellows and four PhD students. The success of the Centre has seen it rapidly expand beyond this initial group of young researchers, with 36 PhD students, 3 undergrad students and over 75 researchers now associated with the Centre.
This multi-disciplinary group has come together in true inter- and transdisciplinary ways to support the Centre’s vision and mission.
