We welcome curious, motivated, and diverse students who want to think differently about marine change. Whether you're interested in cutting-edge ecological modeling, working directly with communities, or bridging diverse knowledge systems, our lab is a space for co-creation, innovation, and impact. Students and researchers are encouraged to develop projects that align with their passions and lived experiences. We support research that is bold, inclusive, and grounded in real-world relevance, from developing causal machine learning models to mapping the futures of coastal communities with youth.
 

Trainees in the lab receive mentorship tailored to their interests and goals. You’ll have the opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary collaborations, participate in regional and international conferences, and contribute to inclusive scientific outreach. Our lab values independent thinkers who bring their own lens to the work, including budding scholars who are excited to co-create knowledge and grow as leaders in their fields.
 

We are committed to creating an inclusive, flexible, and barrier-free learning environment. Students from underrepresented backgrounds in science are especially encouraged to reach out.
 

If you’re interested in joining the lab, please reach out to me (suchinta.arif@unb.ca) with:
 

• A brief statement of interest (including your research interests and how they align with the lab’s work)

• Your CV or resume 

• A short summary of your academic background or transcript (unofficial is fine)
   

We welcome inquiries from prospective graduate students, undergraduate researchers, and postdoctoral fellows.
