Department of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment
The Department of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment (www.slu.se/aquatic-sciences) is working with applied environmental science, with a national responsibility for assessing the condition of Swedish surface waters with respect to water chemistry, pollution and aquatic biota. The Department has some 100 employees. The research focuses on geochemical and hydrological processes, aquatic ecology and biodiversity, as well as on aquatic ecotoxicology and environmental chemistry.
Duties:
We are looking for a Postdoctor to conduct research within the ARCTIC-BIODIVER project, with partners in the US, Canada, Denmark / Greenland, Norway and Sweden. The project aims to understand how organism communities, food webs, and ecosystem services in Arctic lakes and rivers are changing in a warmer climate.
The post-doc is expected to initiate, plan and lead research, write scientific articles and supervise graduate students.
Qualifications:
As postdoctoral appointments are career-developing positions for junior researchers, we are primarily looking for candidates with a doctoral degree that is three years old at most.
The applicant must hold a PhD in aquatic ecology or equivalent, preferably with a profile in Arctic ecosystems and their food webs. You will also have documented experience of how stable isotopes and lipids are applied in food web research, of experimental studies, and of work in Arctic/alpine environments. Good skills in oral and written communication in English are required, as well as a valid driver's license. Previous postdoc experience is a merit. Great emphasis is placed on personal qualities such as good cooperative ability.
Applicants will be evaluated on the basis of their scientific potential and achievements, motivation for the proposed research, and the criteria outlined above.
The application must include CV, diploma, publication list, and a cover letter that includes your motivation for the position.
