[Oikos-listan] Post-doc position on green infrastructure

The Centre for Environmental and Climate Research currently have an open post-doc position on green infrastructure:

 

https://lu.mynetworkglobal.com/en/what:job/jobID:157691/

 

 

Green infrastructure (GI) has been launched as a concept and policy tool to improve biodiversity conservation and support of multiple ecosystem services, by including it into large-scale land-use planning under a changing climate and land-use changes. Therefore, how different actors understand GI may have profound consequences on biodiversity conservation across Europe within the next decades. To understand challenges and opportunities that this development imposes on biodiversity conservation, we urgently need research on the links between the underlying scientific evidence base for effective conservation strategies and the conceptualisation and implementation of GI across multiple governance levels.

This project will:
1) review the ecological literature to establish to which extent organisms occurring in fragmented landscapes are limited by dispersal
2) track the conceptual evolution of GI within peer-reviewed literature and in policy documents to better understand the interconnectedness or lack of such between science and policy in the area of GI.
3) map systematically how GI is understood by policy actors at different scales to establish the degree to which evidence has informed decisions.

This interdisciplinary postdoc project will establish close collaboration between ecologists, environmental scientists and political scientists and provide a platform for planning future joint research.

 

Please note that the last application date is 14 September!

[Oikos-listan] PhD student position in Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in riparian-stream networks

Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in riparian-stream networks

We are seeking a PhD student to work in environmental assessment with a strong background in stream ecology and/or limnology. The PhD thesis is part of a European BiodivERsA project “CROSSLINK: Understanding cross-habitat linkages between blue and green infrastructure to optimize management of biodiversity, ecosystem services and multiple human uses” (http://www.slu.se/Biodiversa_Crosslink). This research team is interested in understanding how land use effects the biodiversity and functioning of streams and riparian habitats, with special focus on the role of riparian buffer strips in maintaining cross-habitat linkages from aquatic to terrestrial systems, and outcomes for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning at both local and larger (stream network) scales. Field and laboratory experiments will be used to study trophic-transfer pathways between streams and adjacent riparian habitats, the mechanisms underlying subsidy effects on terrestrial biodiversity and functioning and how riparian buffer strips mitigate land use effects on cross-ecosystem connectivity. Modelling will be used assess land-use impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and services of stream-riparian networks and the value of riparian buffers in mitigating anthropogenic impacts.

The student who gets the position will be enrolled in the PhD program at the Department of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (http://www.slu.se/en/departments/aquatic-sciences-assessment) in Uppsala, which is a competence centre for applied environmental sciences with focus on environmental assessment in surface water and terrestrial ecosystems, and has a national responsibility for assessing the condition of Swedish surface waters with respect to water chemistry and biodiversity. Research focuses on aquatic ecology and biodiversity, biogeochemical and hydrological processes in catchments, aquatic ecotoxicology and environmental chemistry. The department has about 100 employees, of which half are senior scientists, postdoctoral fellows and PhD students and the other half are laboratory, technical and administrative staff.

[Oikos-listan] FW: Post-doctoral fellowship at INRA, Bordeaux (France)

 

From: Bastien Castagneyrol [mailto:bastien.castagneyrol@inra.fr]
Sent: Friday, August 11, 2017 5:39 PM
Subject: Post-doctoral fellowship at INRA, Bordeaux (France)

 

Dear colleagues,
we are looking for a post-doc to work in tree diversity on insect herbivory for 12 months at INRA Bordeaux.
Keywords: Associational effects, Biodiversity, Forest, Herbivory, TreeDivNet
We (Hervé and I) would greatly appreciate if you could circulate this offer.
Many thanks in advance,
Bastien

A global assessment of tree diversity effects on leaf insect herbivory:
from patterns to mechanisms


We are looking for a post-doc fellow with interest in plant-insect interactions for a 12 months contract in Bordeaux from January to December 2018.

– Deadline for application, September 30 – 

Keywords: Associational effects, Biodiversity, Forest, Herbivory, TreeDivNet

The area of planted forests is expanding worldwide, but 99% of them are tree monocultures. Yet, tree diversity is increasingly acknowledged to support several ecosystem functions and deliver associated ecosystem services (ES, Gamfeldt et al. 2013, van der Plas et al. 2016). One main ES is the regulation of damage caused by insect herbivores (Guyot et al. 2016). Trees are generally more resistant to insect herbivores in mixed forests than in monocultures (Castagneyrol et al. 2014), but there are examples showing the opposite (Schuldt et al. 2015).

Climate is a poorly studied factor likely responsible for discrepancies among existing studies on diversity-resistance relationships (Kambach et al. 2016). Several studies reported that the strength of biotic interactions (Moles et al. 2011, Rodríguez-Castañeda 2013) in general and plant-insect interactions (Kozlov et al. 2015b, Moreira et al. 2015, Abdala-Roberts et al. 2016) in particular change along large scale climatic gradients. Resulting effects of climate on herbivory may be due to the direct effects of climate – being precipitations or temperatures – on herbivores or indirect effects through plant anti-herbivore defences (Zvereva and Kozlov 2006, Jactel et al. 2012). As such, climate may influence the strength and direction of tree diversity effects on herbivory. In the current context of climate change, there is thus an urgent need to better understand how climate may drive tree diversity effects on tree-herbivore interactions.

In 2017, birch leaves (Betula pendula) were collected in eight sites of the tree diversity network (TreeDivNet, Verheyen et al. 2016) where tree diversity was experimentally manipulated. Sites are distributed across Europe and North America along a 17° latitudinal gradient covering most of the climatic gradients naturally experienced by Betula pendula (Atkinson 1992). This unprecedented coverage will allow testing the interactive effects of climate and tree diversity on both insect herbivory and anti-herbivore defences in birch leaves. In addition in 3 sites (ORPHEE, FORBIO, IDENT Cloquet) water supply has been manipulated, which enables experimentally testing the interactive effect of one climatic factor (precipitation) and tree diversity on insect herbivory.

We will take care of estimating herbivory on birch leaves before the contract starts so that the post-doc fellow (PDF) will be offered a dataset ready to be analysed. Analyses of foliar chemical traits will be initiated in autumn as well but may last a few weeks after the contract starts. During the first 6 months, most of PDF's work will thus consist in analyzing the data and writing a scientific paper.

This work is embedded within a larger project aiming to study interactive effects of tree diversity and climatic factors on below- and above-ground processes to which the PDF will be associated. Co-workers in the research group at INRA BIOGECO manage the ORPHEE experiment which is part of TreeDivNet. They have strong expertise in tree-insect interactions. They are currently leading related projects on tree-tree-insect interactions to which the PDF could be associated.

We are looking for PDF familiar with the biodiversity and ecosystem functioning framework with interest and experience in plant-insect interactions. Excellent skills in statistical analyses will be appreciated.

Applicants should send a detailed CV (2 pages max.) and up to two support letters, not later than 30 September 2017. Documents will be sent by e-mail* to Bastien Castagneyrol (see below). All documents must be sent as pdf files, and be formatted as NAME_Surname_XXX.pdf, where XXX is CV, supportletter1 or supportletter2.

We will short list applicants and offer them skype interview around mid-October 2017.

Further inquiries, please contact Bastien Castagneyrol (bastien.castagneyrol@inra.fr) and/or Hervé Jactel (herve.jactel@inra.fr).

Merci !!

* There is no need to attach a motivation letter, but please make sure that you explain why you apply and why you are qualified in your e-mail.

[Oikos-listan] FW: PhD position

Open doctoral student positions in the Biological and Environmental Science

The Department of Biological and Environmental Science (University of Jyväskylä, Finland) seeks to recruit 4 doctoral students into the Doctoral Programme in Biological and Environmental Science, starting earliest 1.1.2018. The student should complete the doctoral degree in 4 years. Applications, together with all relevant enclosures, should be submitted using electronic application form at latest 31.8.2017 (in Finnish, in English). After the deadline, each supervisor will select one best candidate for their own project. These top candidates will be asked to write a 2-page long research plan on the thesis topic and will be interviewed. Applications sent by email will not be considered. Only one application per candidate is accepted.
For further information on the project, please contact the supervisor (see below).

For full list of projects and details of the application process see: https://www.jyu.fi/bioenv/en/study/doctoral-programme/phd-posts/2018/call

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

8. Sustainable future use of European forests for developing the bioeconomy

Work description. The PhD student will work in the project "Sustainable future use of European forests for developing the bioeconomy". In this project, we assess the potential of EU forestry policy and practice to increase the delivery of wood products while contributing to climate change mitigation in such a way that the delivery of other ecosystem services and the persistence of forest species are also warranted in the long-term from the Finnish perspective. For this holistic evaluation, our international team includes forest researchers, life cycle analysis experts and biologists together with target stakeholders of the forestry and environmental sectors that will work on developing a novel integrative framework for forest management. We aim to identify forest management plans that can provide optimal solutions to potential conflicts across the full array of considered objectives (ecosystem services and biodiversity). We consider a wide set of valuable provisioning (i.e. collectable goods), regulating (i.e. climate regulation) and cultural (i.e. recreation) ecosystem services that boreal forests can provide. We consider alternative aspects of biodiversity including habitat availability for indicator and umbrella species, availability of critical resources, and plant species richness.

Qualifications. The research tasks will require the development and use of mathematical models in forecasting resource development, potential for ecosystem service provisioning and biodiversity conservation. To be successful, applicants should be able to express themselves fluently in both written and verbal communication and possess good analytical and problem-solving skills. Applicants should be familiar with a computer programming language (e.g. python or R) and database management tools (i.e. SQL). An ability to work with large data sets is necessary. Familiarity with operations research methods is considered an asset. Potential candidates are required to be eligible to start doctoral training and to have a master's degree e.g. in ecology, economics, forestry, mathematics, statistics or systems analysis.

AquaBiota har behov av förstärkning inom marin/limnisk biologi med tyngd på statistiska och tekniska analyser i GIS. En lämplig bakgrund kan vara att ganska nyligen ha disputerat inom marin/limnisk biologi eller att ha arbetat några år med olika vattenrelaterade naturvårdsfrågor. Du ska ha erfarenhet av projektledning, vara välbekant med marina och/eller limniska systems ekologi, ha kunskap inom kartering/modellering, analysverktyget R samt olika GIS-verktyg. Programmeringsvana är meriterande.
