WELLINGTON'S VICTORIA UNIVERSITY announces the
appointment of Dr Matthew Dunn to a newly created
position within the School of Biological Sciences.
The new position, The Chair of Fisheries Science,
will support the New Zealand fishery industry with
specialized research.
Originally from the United Kingdom, Dunn has
spent a decade at the National Institute of Water and
Atmospheric Research and has a background in fish
biology, fisheries stock assessment and economics, and
has previously worked at two influential marine centres,
the University of Portsmouth's Centre for the Economics
and Management of Aquatic Resources as well as the
Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture
Science at Lowestoft.
Dunn will work closely with New Zealand
organisations including central government agencies,
crown research institutes and industry bodies. He
will also support the development of highly qualified
graduates to enter the field, which suffers from a
shortage of skilled scientists.
Dunn believes that graduates entering the world of
fisheries science need to be highly-skilled quantitative
biologists, with both biology and statistics background,
as research techniques are becoming increasingly
sophisticated.
"There are many areas of New Zealand fisheries
science I hope to explore, with the aim of leading research
important to the industry which other organisations may
not have the resources or time to tackle on their own,"
said Dunn.
"As fisheries scientists, we understand that the
interaction between fish, fisheries, science and politics is
very complex."
The new role within the School of Biological Sciences,
The Chair in Fisheries Science has been established in
partnership between Victoria University and the Ministry
for Primary Industries, with financial support from the
Ministry through the Victoria University Foundation.
