-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

PhD position open at SLU, Uppsala, Sweden:

Biotic interactions in a rapidly warming Arctic

 

Rapid climate change across the Arctic affects interactions among species, and ecosystem functions driven by these interactions. We use both time series and space-for-time substitution approaches to expose climatic impacts on species interaction structure and on functioning. As focal interactions we use plant–pollinator, plant–fungus and plant–bacteria networks. Among ecosystem functions, we focus on the transport of pollen; the type of association (positive or negative); and plant biomass.

 

The PhD-student will apply versatile tools to reconstruct Arctic interaction networks. The project combines time series analysis, detailed studies within a region in Northeast Greenland and large-scale surveys across the Arctic, in collaboration with tens of research stations. Overall, data analysis and lab work will dominate over field work in this PhD project, although obtaining hands-on experience with some of the Arctic focal sites will be required.

 

The successful candidate will enter a research team (www.slu.se/en/cv/tomas-roslin; www.slu.se/en/ew-cv/rene-van-der-wal/ and https://internt.slu.se/en/cv-originals/mohammad-bahram/) with thorough experience on Arctic ecology, set in a strong international network of researchers on climate and Arctic biodiversity. Much of our work is based on using molecular tools to describe communities and ecological interaction networks. By the end of the project, the candidate will have gained extensive experience in high-throughput molecular and advanced statistical methods

postdoc on multifunctional forest

Dear all,

I would appreciate help to spread the announcement for this postdoc position,

https://www.slu.se/en/about-slu/jobs-vacancies/?rmpage=job&rmjob=2962&rmlang=UK

 

Postdoc - Multifunctional future forest

The postdoc will develop and evaluate multifunctionality metrics for biodiversity and ecosystem services. The basis of the work will be models for biodiversity, species distribution, (meta)population dynamics and ecosystem services. He/she will also apply them in scenario projections. We study how scenarios of socio-economic policy or development, climate change or forest management on different spatial scales (global, EU, national, landscape) may affect the future delivery of ecosystem services, the persistence and community structure of forest species. We also investigate conflicts and synergies between these, e.g. based on optimization. The work is part of the ForestValue project MultiForest (forestvalue.org) with partners in Finland, Norway, Germany and Austria.

 

Best regards,
Tord

Vacancy: doctoral student in forest ecology

Dear list members,

 

We are recruiting a PhD student to work with plant and pollinator phenology. Please forward to potential candidates.

 

Burst, bloom and buzz – Deciphering the interactions between trees and climate on forest ecosystem processes

 

We are looking for a person who, as part of a PhD, will conduct research on the impact of tree species composition, forest density and macro climate on forest understory climate and species communities. We focus especially on the impact of monospecific vs mixed forests. Our emphasis is on understory plants and their associated pollinators, two interdependent species groups with direct implications for forest ecosystem function and services. For this research we will use a macro-climatic gradient spanning 10 degrees Celsius in mean annual temperature, involving field-work from central to northern Europe. This research contributes to filling a major knowledge gap regarding the combined implications on ecosystem functionality of two of the most important drivers of global change, climate and land-use. The successful applicant will have excellent opportunities to work with our international collaborators.

Two PhD-positions in plant-insect interaction ecology at Lund University

Hi,

 

Please spread info about these positions to interested and interesting potential applicants.

Best Wishes,

Øystein and Magne

 

PhD positions in the evolutionary ecology of plant-insect interactions

Two PhD positions are currently available in the Evolutionary Ecology of Plant-Insect Interactions research group (EEPII) at Lund University (https://www.biology.lu.se/research/research-groups/evolutionary-ecology-of-plant-insect-interactions).

Research within the EEPII strives to understand the evolutionary forces driving diversification and adaptation in species interactions among plants and plant-feeding insects. We combine genomic, evolutionary and ecological studies to ask and answer questions about the distribution, diversification and conservation of biodiversity within and among species, and in particular how these patterns and processes are affected by the interaction between plants and insects. Our research bridges the gap between zoology and botany by integrating studies of animal- and plant biodiversity.

Position 1: https://lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:302793/

Position 2: https://lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:302607/

Deadline for both positions is the 10. January 2020.

Both projects focus on the evolution of fragrance-based pollination systems, are focused on well-established empirical systems (Position 1: Arabis alpina + Lithophragma bolanderi, Position 2: Dalechampia), and will combine field and greenhouse work with macroevolutionary analyses. We strongly encourage interested candidates to apply for both positions. Please note that this requires two separate applications.

Informal inquiries are welcome to Dr. Magne Friberg (magne.friberg@biol.lu.se) and Dr. Øystein Opedal (oystein.opedal@biol.lu.se).

Project description: Vector borne diseases are a major threat to human, domesticated and wildlife populations. Many vectors are bloodsucking insects that rely on olfactory cues for finding their meal. These olfactory cues can be manipulated by the pathogen to ensure transmission. We will use avian malaria to study the chemical ecology of vector borne pathogen transmission. First, we will investigate how particular malaria strains and the birds' MHC genes determine odour profiles. Second, we will use a combination of blood-feeding behavioural tests and RNAseq to reveal the genetic basis to variation in vector responses to host odour profiles. We predict that specific avian malaria strains affect their vectors such that they avoid hosts with MHC genes that would allow the host to defend themselves. Our results will also lead to predictions of specific combinations of genotype frequencies of hosts, pathogens and vectors that promote pathogen transfer resulting in more infected individuals in the population. These predictions will be tested using data from geographically separated populations. We also predict that the pathogen strains that are most efficiently transmitted between hosts also are the most virulent ones. Our findings will be relevant in the general context of predicting and preventing the spread of vector borne pathogens. Our

results will in particular contribute to improved general guidelines for predictions of the likelihood and consequences of pathogen range expansion.

Duties: Analyze and publish already available data, perform experiments in the field and contribute to the future development of the project.  

Qualifications required: A doctoral degree, or a foreign degree equivalent to a doctoral degree, in ecology and/or evolution. Previous experiences with analyses of genomic data are required. Candidates must be able to express themselves fluently in spoken as well as written English. In ranking eligible candidates, special importance will be given to scientific skills. In the assessment of scientific merits, especially analytic skills and the ability to formulate sharp hypothesis and outline logic arguments and balanced interpretations will be highly valued.

Qualifications desired: Earlier experiences of field work on birds are desired.

Position: The position is a full-time, temporary position until 2020-12-31.

Salary: Individual salary.

Starting date: 2020-01-01, or as agreed.

Application: The application should include 1) a letter of intent describing yourself, your research interests and why you want this position, 2) your CV, 3) a short description of your education, 4) a copy of your doctoral degree and course grades, 5) the names and contact information to at least two reference persons (e-mail address and phone no.), 6) a copy of your master thesis and 7) publications produced. The application should be written in English.
